Topic:    OpenGL and VRML: Application to internet virtual reality environments

                In our seminar talk we shall discuss the use of OpenGL and VRML for modeling of virtual
worlds. Specifically, we are interested in the compact object specfications within a world and how this
representation is used within physically correct environments. We will discuss applications such
as kinematic modelling, collision detection, etc.. offered by VRML. We shall also discuss how VRML
works with OpenGL in offering a cross-platform, internet compatible interface.
