One more point of interest - in reference to your comment below about people not wanting to touch code. Maybe one way to think about VRML is as an "instance" or application demonstrating the use of Java3D so one could say that VRML is an interface layer on top of Java3D which lets non tech

It depends on what you mean by applications. J3D is based on programming and very low-level syntax manipulation (such as 'capability bits' for exp.) It requires detailed code to build an application. Perhaps in future there will be tools and/or 'compositional syntaxes' to obviate the need for prog

Hi Anselm, I don't think so. These technologies are targetting the same or at least very overlapping application areas. I think, every application done in VRML could also have been done based on Java3D. On the other hand I think that it's no problem to build very complex applications in Java3D
