How VRML Was Kind of Ridiculous

Virtual Reality Modeling Language

Finally, we move to "perceptualized" Internetworks, where the data has been sensualized, that is, rendered sensually. If something is represented sensually, it is possible to make sense of it. VRML is an attempt (how successful, only time and effort will tell) to place humans at the center of the Internet, ordering its universe to our whims. In order to do that, the most important single element is a standard that defines the particularities of perception. Virtual Reality Modeling Language is that standard, designed to be a universal description language for multi-participant simulations.
What is an Avatar? It is your alter ego in Cyberspace, your body double in the virtual communities growing inside two and three dimensional virtual worlds online.

And now we always use VRML for everything.

So... what killed VRML?

1. Perceptualizing the Internet

vs

2. Enabling Human Connections

3. Having Cool Virtual Reality Experiences
