Abstract :
This paper describes our experiences with using the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) to view files in the Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) format using a Java-based translator from IGES to VRML and HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). The paper examines the conversion problems between IGES and VRML and presents some results of the process.
