一年之前,基于虚拟现实模型语言(Virtual RealityModeling Language)而被称为VRML的Internet虚拟现实环境还基本上被认为是属于未来的事物。而今,基于VRML的很多商业、娱乐和科学上的应用却已经粉墨登场。虽然这项技术还在萌芽阶段,但其发展迅速。在1995年8月举行的Siggragh会议上发布了对VRML2.0标准的确认。随之而来的是在激烈的竞争中产生的新一代VRML2.0创作工具和浏览器,这也为1997年该领域的大发展做了铺垫。
A year ago, the Internet virtual reality environment, called VRML, based on the Virtual Reality Modeling Language, was basically considered something of the future. Today, many VRML-based commercial, entertainment and scientific applications are already available. Although this technology is still in its infancy, its development is rapid. The confirmation of the VRML 2.0 standard was released at the Siggragh conference in August 1995. What followed was a new generation of VRML 2.0 authoring tools and browsers generated in the fierce competition, which also paved the way for the great development in this field in 1997.
