I've seen QTVR worlds and I agree they should be integrated with
VRML [and here I sit on an NT box! ]. They are gorgeous!
Have any of the world-buiding vendors facilitated the use of URNs
instead of URLs? That way, true-color worlds could be downloaded
from the net but accessed locally [at the user's specified location].
Using URNs would permit users with low-bandwidth channels to
encounter the QTVR and/or VRML experience without the performance
issues.
Then again, this type of configuration may require Netscape 2.0
or M$'s Blackbird viewer, which support JAVA applets. [which
would in turn manipulate the QTVR / VRML environs].
I hope one of you big-time, high-$ VRML developers respond to
let me know I'm on-track or off-the-mark. At this point, I'm not
sure if I'm esading too many newsgroups or if I'm starting to
understand ....
