`Developing the VRML 97
`International Standard
`George S. Carson, Richard F. Puk, and
`Rikk Carey
`VRML 97 arose from a cooperative effort between the
`standards and VRML communities. The methodology
`employed applies equally well to development of
`future standards.

`Researchers have in—
`creasingly turned to
`Virtual Reality Modeling Language
`(VRML)
`to represent geographic
`information. In VRML’s early days,
`the result was a few toy examples
`that did not scale well, such as
`coarse, single-resolution elevation
`grids. Today, VRML is drawing more
`serious interest from researchers
`across the spectrum, including geo—
`graphers, cartographers, geologists,
`and computer scientists, as the side—
`bar “Related Work” describes. As
`Theresa-Marie Rhyne noted, geo-
`graphic information system (GIS) and scientific Visual—
`ization tools have begun to expand into each other’s
`
`either a VRML browser or

`the customized TerraVision

`Currently, interesting and significant work
`addresses the problem of representing geographic

`described the work of the Virtual Field Course

`to familiarize students with fieldwork locations and
`aid data collection and analysis. The VFC project
`uses VRML and java to provide interactive 2D and
`3D views of geo-referenced data to enhance
`students’ cognition of the real environment.
`The US Naval Postgraduate School is currently
`working on a project to develop a 3D model of the
`Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. They
`aim to create a VRML representation of the
`sanctuary based on raw bathymetry (below sea
`level) data for a 2.5 x 2.5 degree region of the bay.
`Their representation uses multiresolution
`techniques to deliver these large data amounts
`over a 28K modem connection.
