New: Extended submission deadline !

During the last years the VRML community combined its efforts to turn VRML 2.0 into the official ISO-standard VRML97. The key industrial players concentrated on browser, tool and content development. All this was necessary to make VRML a success. Nevertheless VRML97 has still some conceptual deficiencies. One of these is its weak support for object-oriented VRML authoring. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers, language designers, tool developers and authors to discuss object-oriented extensions and modifications of VRML and how OO methodologies can be applied to VRML authoring in general.

Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

object-orientated language extensions
interfacing/combining virtual worlds and object libraries
templates
inheritance hierarchies
distributed objects and distributed/shared worlds
OO analysis and design
