The VRML Image


This is a Virtual Molecular Laboratory,showed using VRML .A quite different application of VRML illustrates how laboratory instrumentation or apparatus might be depicted.The virtual approach would also provide a means for students to gain some insight to modern laboratory techniques that might otherwise be prohibitively expensive to actually carry out. Ultimately, a network of virtual instruments corresponding to the layout of real world laboratory environment could be constructed, and virtual experiments within the laboratories could correspond to live experiments.In this scene , each important object is assigned a "viewpoint" to help in the navigation, and these viewpoints could be used to index the model, and ultimately to search for model components on a global scale.
