Silicon Graphics Inc, the Technical University of Munich and three-dimensional multi-user Internet technology developer Black Sun Interactive Inc have launched the VRML EuroCentre for Virtual Reality Modelling Language. Set to be up and running this month, it will offer users, researchers and commercial developers access to information on Virtual Reality Modelling Language technologies. The VRML EuroCentre will be linked directly to a new high speed European high bandwidth network connecting Europe and US Internet users, and will be hosted at the Technical University of Munich on a Silicon Graphics Inc Web server. Black Sun will manage and support the VRML EuroCentre content, which includes a mirror of the VRML Repository from the San Diego Supercomputer Center. The EuroCentre will comprise frequently-updated copies of the content of most of the repository’s outbound links, a hypermail archive of the Virtual Reality Modelling Language mail lists sponsored by Wired magazine, a library of European Virtual Reality Modelling Language development work, and a forum for technical and cultural issues involved in creating World Wide Web sites for multilingual and multicultural communities. Black Sun Interactive, San Francisco-based company with an office in Munich, develops Virtual Reality Modelling Language-based client-server systems for interactive Internet-wide multi-user information environments.
