You'd love to beef up your web site with virtual reality, but even the simplest virtual world can be difficult to create and successfully execute on the Internet. Right? Not necessarily.
This book/CD package makes it easier than ever for you to enhance your web site with state-of-the-art 3D virtual reality. Trailblazers O'Neill and Muir supply you with the know-how and tools you need to create stunningly realistic 3D spaces, stores, galleries, malls . . . entire worlds. In skill-building sequence, they describe an innovative alternative to VRML that lets you recreate an existing space, design a new one from scratch, or build a complete virtual world of your own imagining and then integrate it into your site. And most importantly, anyone using a standard web browser will be able to navigate your world without having to download and install special plug-ins or other complicated software!
