Virtual Reality Modelling Language (VRML) is an Internet standard for the rendering of 3D graphics Wikipedia VRML is a text file format where, e.g., vertices and edges for a 3D polygon can be specified along with the surface color, image-mapped textures, shininess, transparency, and so on. URLs can be associated with graphical components so that a web browser might fetch a web-page or a new VRML file from the Internet when the user clicks on the specific graphical component. Animations, sounds, lighting, and other aspects of the virtual world can interact with the user or may be triggered by external events such as timers. A special Script Node allows the addition of program code (e.g., written in Java or JavaScript (ECMAScript)) to a VRML file. VRML files are commonly called worlds and have the .wrl extension (for example island.wrl). Although VRML worlds use a text format they may often be compressed using gzip so that they transfer over the internet more quickly. Most 3D modeling programs can save objects and scenes in VRML format.

Stanford's Virtual Human Interaction Lab       
 

Stanford's newly renovated Virtual Human Interaction Lab, was specifically designed for psychological experimentation in virtual worlds, says Associate Professor of Communication Jeremy Bailenson. "We integrate three virtual senses in a way that's very psychologically persuasive -- sight, sound and touch."

The state-of-the-art lab also offers a glimpse of the near future in household entertainment. "We're using this cutting-edge lab to try to think ahead by a few years to predict what household technology is going to be like and how that's going to affect people," Jeremy Bailenson said.

The lab offers a glimpse of the future of household entertainment.

"Only in the last few years have we really been able to see the technology that we have in this science lab start to port to the living room," he said. "I truly believe that the amazing psychological experience of being transported to a virtual space that we do here at Stanford is going to be in most people's homes in the coming years."

Take a tour and look at the Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE) is another integral part of the lab. The CAVE consists of 70-inch diagonal 3D displays, which means colors and definition will be crisper than typical projection systems. In contrast with the HMD based virtual reality, the CAVE permits less range of motion but allows users to experience virtual environments without wearing any hardware.

The Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design, known also as ACCAD, is a research center where graduate students and faculty from across the Ohio State University, study and conduct research in areas involving computer graphics and technological innovation. ACCAD forms partnerships with visual and performing artists, designers, art historians and critics, computer scientists, engineers and architects which provide multidisciplinary experiences for our graduate students. Virtual Environment, Scientific Visualization, Animation Shorts, Interactive Performance and Installation Technology, Interactive Media,  AL - Advanced Models.

Motion Capture Lab, ACCAD promotes collaboration with researchers and artists from within as well as outside of The Ohio State University. This lab allows us to capture human, animal, or other motion, recreate this motion in three dimensional space, and then use the resulting data to do many things from making a virtual character dance across a stage to using the data to compare different people's walks to using the data to drive different computer generated objects and attributes in order to create never before seen results.
