When Silicon Graphics releases a plug-in, you know it's got to be good (at least it better be). Cosmo Player doesn't disappoint. Even as a buggy beta, this VRML plug-in is more stable than most of its counterparts. More importantly, it supports the sta ndard features without using nonstandard formats.

In developing its plug-in, SGI held out for the acceptance of VRML 2.0, which allows developers to employ Java and create "moving worlds." VRML 1.0 only supported static worlds, which remain still as users navigate them.

What it all boils down to, though, is that Cosmo Player works, and works well. What else could anyone want from a VRML plug-in? Except maybe a version for the Mac.
