VRML is alive again!

[Roger Kaufman]

Hi All,

Vladimir Bulatov alerted me to a javascript html based vrml system.
Vladimir says it runs most everything he had from 20 years ago unchanged.

I have made a test page and viewer.

I used to follow a Mr Bultaov in early 2000s.

Is it the same gentleman?

I was just informed of this yesterday. I don't know how anyone would
find this otherwise...

If you had Cortona installed under IE and are now at Windows 11 (or
otherwise forced to use Edge now), it was not deleted.

Find a vrml link, this page will do.

https://www.interocitors.com/polyhedra/UCs/index.html

In Edge, hover the mouse over a "wrl" link and press the right mouse
button for the popup menu. Choose "open link in new Internet Explorer
mode tab".

Then the vrml model will open in Cortona.

P.S. If you didn't have cortona installed I'm curious if it can even be
installed now. I have a Windows 11 laptop that doesn't have it. I will
try this later.

The install worked. I am able to run Cortona on the Windows 11 notebook.

It requires special menu handling and dialog screen for every vrml I
would want to look at so its not the best solution. But it works.
