The Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML, often pronounced as either V-R-M-L or ver-mal) is a graphics description language standard for multi-participant interactive simulations (virtual worlds) that can be viewed and explored on the World Wide Web.[1][2] Several commercial and free packages provide extensive 3-dimensional (3D) modeling capabilities for realistic graphics.[3] It has been superseded by X3D.[4]
