I would appreciate hearing from anyone out there involved in : building metaworlds online and opinions about the tools they are using : or have tried. : We have been working a small amount with VRML (see http://www.museum.state.il.us/research/GISlab/vrml) But have been doing a little more with QTVR. You can see some of the results at http://www.museum.state.il.us/ismsites/rcc/rcc_tour/ and http://www.museum.state.il.us/mic_home/ A future (and fairly easy) goal is to combine VRML and QTVR to allow enhanced browsing of our collections and research. I'm not sure of the usefullness of technologies like Black Sun, but I'd be interested in being proved wrong. Erich Schroeder -- --- Erich K.
