Introduction
Virtual reality is used in many different applications, ranging
from business and planning to manufacturing and entertainment.
Using the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) programming
language, entire virtual worlds have been created where you can walk
around and manipulate objects.
Navigating a large database, a virtual, 3D representation can
ease the use and understanding of such complex structures.
Navigating the net through mouse and keyboard may soon become a
thing of the past. Instead use a virtual reality system to surf the
net in a literal sense!

In architecture and manufacturing, virtual design and
development, better known as virtual prototyping, significantly aid
in testing and perfecting the product before actual construction.
On the entertainment side of virtual reality you can enter worlds
yourself with sights, sounds and touch, and relive the wild West or
the Renaissance.
