description The Web is being extended to three spatial dimensions thanks to virtual reality modeling language (VRML), a dynamic 3D scene description language that can include embedded behaviors and camera animation. Over 20 million VRML browsers have been shipped with Web browsers, making interactive 3D graphics suddenly available for any desktop. Java adds complete programming capabilities plus network access, making VRML fully functional and portable. This is a powerful new combination, especially as ongoing research shows that VRML plus Java provide extensive support for building large-scale virtual environments. Historical background, sample VRML-Java test programs, and a look ahead at future work are provided.
