It's been 10 years since I left the VRML world. I met a lot of cool people: The whole Paper Gang: Michael Plitkins, Mike, Greg, Jim, Cary as well as Tamara Munzner, Maureen Stone... geez, I need to come back to this...
I put up the old pages of the VRML Architecture Group, aka the VAG. Here is the group at the first meeting. From right to left: Rikk Carey, William Martens, Brian Blau, Gavin Bell, Jan Hardenbergh, Mitra, Jon Marbry, Tom Meyer, Mark Pesce and Anthony Parisi
Useful: Kevin Laurent's JavaScript version of Steve Chenney's Orient. This turns an OpenGL View LookAt, gluLookAt() into a VRML Viewpoint with position and orientation.
