About VRML and Open Inventor™

VRML, or Virtual Reality Modeling Language, is an emerging standard file format for 3D on the Internet. VRML is endorsed by all major Internet software companies. VRML 1.0 is a subset of Open Inventor, also available from TGS for Visual C++ 2.x and 4.x. TGS will support VRML 2.0 (ActiveVRML, etc.) when the specifications are complete.

Open Inventor™ is a general purpose C++ 3D class library licensed by TGS from Silicon Graphics, Inc. Open Inventor is used to develop applications in CAD, Data Visualization, Modeling, Simulations and VR. The Open Inventor toolkit is available from TGS on all non-SGI UNIX workstations and PC systems. Open Inventor's metafile format (.iv) is the basis for VRML 1.0, "Moving Worlds", the Keystone Initiative and is also being used as the basis for an ANSI/ISO 3D metafile definition.
