Introduction to VRML 97

VRML is a standard language for describing interactive 3-D objects and worlds delivered across the Internet. This tutorial will allow participants to learn how to use VRML 97 to author their own 3-D virtual worlds on the World Wide Web, learn VRML concepts and terminology, be introduced to VRML's text format syntax, as well as learn tips and techniques for increasing performance and realism. It includes numerous VRML examples and information on where to find out more about VRML features and use.

Virtual Reality Centre for the Built Environment

The Centre aims to research, develop and disseminate ways of designing, producing and operating buildings and urban areas using virtual reality techniques. The VR Centre's role is to bring the full range of computer graphics, interaction and digital data to the virtual building that currently drives the design-development-operation cycle. Information, analysis and simulations are being synthesised to allow design teams and their clients to predict the performance of proposals at both the urban and building scale.
