Kansal" Subject: REFS: Books information To: Multiple recipients of list VIRTU-L Hi, I'm looking to find a either literature, or software application on VR training programs. If I were to create a software program myself, what software applicatons will I need to use? There is one application called Vertigo, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any other that currently exist, and if so, if there is any literature associated with it. My second question is to find a good guide to VRML programming. Could anyone request a book on VRML or Webspace? Please send the information to my email id: RUCHI@VNET.IBM.COM Thanks for all your help :) ______________________________________________________________________________ Ruchi Mona Kansal ruchi@vnet.ibm.com IBM / Software Development (314) 634-0329 1655 E.Elm Street, Jefferson City, MO 65101 ************************************************************ End of InfoBooth Digest ************************************************************
