Exploration of Virtual Reality Modelling Language World and its Didactical Applications
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: This paper presents an overview of Virtual Reality Modelling Language (VRML) abilities for didactical purpose. To address meaningfully the challenges of the VRML utilization, some trans-disciplinary aspects are highlighted in this study. One could note that VRML should be seen as a crossroad among different scientific and non scientific fields such as electronic, automatics, mechanics, mathematics and physics, architecture, and graphic arts. It can be used successfully in deep study, whatever the scientific level and origin of the students: secondary school pupils, undergraduate, postgraduate students or engineer school students. After a short presentation, this paper focuses on various application of VRML from psychological, artistic as well as technical point of views. An original comparison with CAD electronic software tools is done in order to help the understanding of VRML world, pros and cons are explained. Further, we give some technical details and concrete hand made examples which can be used as course material, and finally we emphasize the conclusion on our findings.
