VRML was hot around the year 2000 (from 1997 to 2003). Since then, it has been gradually faded out and evoluted
into X3D, which is the enhanced successor to VRML.
Unfortunately, previously popular browser-plugin tools are no longer working. However many VRML 3D demos (files ending with .wrl)
are still very educational. If you still want to play them, you can download stand-alone tools from web.
For example, you may download and install a VRML Viewer for Windows from
Cortona VRML Client . When you click on a link to a .wrl file on your browser, you can download it to your computer and view it by using the viewer.
