VRML can be considered as a 3D analog to HTML. This implies that VRML serves as asimple multiplatform language for publishing 3D web pages. This is motivated by the fact thatsome information is best-experienced three dimensionally, such as games, engineering andscientific visualizations, educational experiences and architecture. Typically these types ofprojects require intensive interaction, animation and user participation and exploration beyondwhat is capable with HTML format.
