This reminds me of the experience VRML wanted to be 3 decades ago. The only difference is that links went to other worlds living on another server. But that seems trivial to implement with this.
- bastawhiz 1mo agoVRML was incredible. It's a "hypertext" markup language but instead of documents it produces 3D environments. It's a shame it never really caught on.
- kevthecoder 1mo agoThere's some work going on at the Metaverse Standards Forum to progress these ideas with Web of Worlds (https://webofworlds.github.io/ https://webofworlds.github.io/). It's scope is a lot broader than VRML, it covers assets, identity, avatars, payments, etc. There's a link to the presentation at SIGGRAPH - https://youtu.be/N2_lb77gKQ8 https://youtu.be/N2_lb77gKQ8.

- bb88 19d agoA little late I know, but yes it was. The problem was the hardware didn't really support what VRML could do at the time. I had access to an SGI irix workstation and VRML (and 3d scenes) was still challenging for it back in the early to mid 1990s.
