Tried a Netscape plug-in of WIRL (the player of VREAM) and was quite surprised by it's smoothness. I must disagree with the above opinions. I do think that this product has a lot of potential. It brings us a taste of what VRML + Java will enable us to do. It may even be more efficient than the VRML/Java combination to add some "intelligence" to internet virtual worlds. We'll have to see.
