Navigating Virtual Worlds in Cyberspace with Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) #15

Closed dharden closed 9 years ago

dharden commented 9 years ago

From the W3C spec:

VRML allows to create "virtual worlds" networked via the Internet and hyperlinked with the World Wide Web.

The year is 1995. The place... cyberspace.

The exciting new technology Virtual Reality Modeling Language, or VRML for short, is poised to change the way we surf the information superhighway forever. Rather than scrolling through a boring old document, web surfers would now have the ability to literally navigate the information superhighway to virtual worlds of their own creation.

These worlds mostly consist of spinning cubes.

This talk will also touch on the virtual reality file system navigator as seen in Jurassic Park.

If you haven't already, please register yourself as a speaker for JSFest:

If you get it in within the next few days you'll probably get a much nicer conference badge :)

And for any clever buggers who think they can register for free using that link, we will be checking the names against the accepted speakers list :)
