Features: VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is an interactive, WWW-based virtual reality modeling language on the Internet, serving as a 3D simulation of HTML. VRML addresses the weaknesses of the original WWW in terms of upload and poor interactivity, with human actions as the main focus of navigation, creating a virtual space where users can freely explore. This book systematically introduces the fundamental knowledge of Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) and the detailed usage of each node, providing numerous examples for reference. The book is divided into two parts: Part one covers the basic theories of VRML, the syntax of each node, and methods and techniques for creating and developing virtual spaces using VRML; the second part provides an in-depth discussion based on the VRML 3D modeling examples of a CNC lathe developed by the authors, aiming to continuously improve the readers' VRML programming and development skills in practice. This book is suitable for VRML beginners who dream of creating their own virtual spaces, as well as for researchers and program developers who utilize VRML technology for system simulation and virtual reality programming as a reference book.
