David,

Interesting thought about VRML manipulation...I looked at the Mars
content as well as the new Feature Article (at http://vrml.sgi.com)
which discusses a streaming VRML webcast to Japan and thought that it
would be interesting to meld these two ideas.

Perhaps in the future, VRML could be utilized by engineers donning
motion-capture suits to interact with other VRML objects or avatars in
remote environments, such as Mars, with graphics fed from a remote
site as well. Or am I pushing it?

Something similar to your idea...I agree that simulation training is a
great use of VRML...two-way VRML simulations would be even more
incredible.

Anybody else have futuristic ideas of VRML utilization?
