| VR Scout works with almost any Web browser as an external viewer (helper application) for VRML files with MIME type x-world/x-vrml. VR Scout takes advantage of Web browsers which support DDE in a few additional ways: URL downloading occurs through the web browser, so HTTP requests and caching are centralized; a progress bar is displayed during downloads; and relative URLs can be resolved. | ||
