WIKI CYBERTOWN SOFTWARE

Floops was a creation of a company called Protozoa. SGI ran a web site at on which was hosted a string of regular short performances of a character called 'Floops' who was a VRML character in a VRML world.

The VRML Consortium changed its name to the Web3D Consortium, and began work on the successor to VRML- X3D. VRML's capabilities remained largely the same while realtime 3D graphics kept improving. To fill the void a variety of proprietary Web 3D formats emerged over the next few years, including Microsoft Chrome and Adobe Atmosphere, neither of which is supported today.

The format was championed by SGI's Cosmo Software when SGI restructured in 1998, the division was sold to the VREAM Division of Platinum Technology, which was then taken over by Computer Associates, which did not develop or distribute the software. VRML97 was used on the Internet on some personal homepages and sites such as ' CyberTown', which offered 3D chat using Blaxxun Software, as well as Sony's SAPARi program, which was pre-installed on Vaio computers from 1997 to 2001. In 1997, a new version of the format was finalized, as VRML97 (also known as VRML2 or VRML 2.0), and became an ISO/IEC standard.

The term VRML was coined by Dave Raggett in a paper called 'Extending In October 1995, at Internet World, Template Graphics Software (TGS) demonstrated a 3D/VRML plug-in for the beta release of Netscape 2.0 by Netscape Communications.
