You inspired me to go have a look at VRML. With all respect to the work that has been done, its so incomprehensible to anybody outside the field. And it seems the modern version of it (X3D) is more focused on specifying individual scenes and behaviours, where what we need for the metaverse is the magic sauce that lets people build separate worlds independently and join them together through links. What does a link look like in such a world? is it a door I walk through? a button I press?
We need something radically clearer and simpler to make it successful. I wish I could believe Zuckerberg really wants to build it but it is so hard to see him have the kind of altruism necessary to build any kind of open platform.
