Touch it. Feel it. Get hit by it.

Project Definition

As webmaster, I have short, medium and long term strategies for our site .In all of them VRML features pretty heavily. If we are to achieve the objective of turning our community into a truly immersive experience then we will need to put our platform at the forefront of that technology, not just copying and catching up with the SGI gang but actually running past them, setting the agenda ourselves.

Just a quick look through any Amiga publication (and hopefully soon in the Hall of Artists) demonstrates the depth of 3D talent in the community. What we are missing is the horsepower and the tools. Hopefully PIOS, P5, Draco, Eagle and Gateway are going to change that soon. So it comes to the tools.

The scope of this project is to:

provide a general picture of the current and proposed future state of VRML across all platforms, with links, resources, publications etc.A set of pointer for those members who wish to jump into this arena.
provide a detailed examination of the current and Work In Progess state of VRML on our own platform.
produce a strategy document for the development of VRML on the Amiga, including tools required, hardware required. This should include not just existing tools for VRML but a good dream into the future, universal clients for future participation, the organisation of a VRML network, server and client pieces or even a completely new model. I am particularly interested in a comparison of existing 3D formats with regards to VRML and an analysis of whether these will continue to be separate or will combine.

The deliverables of this project (documents) shall be available to the whole membership and will hopefully form a basis for a discussion sessionand the preparation of a detailed VRML strategy.
