The VRML Architecture Group, consisting of eight technical experts, endeavors to focus and articulate the sentiments of the VRML community in order to foster the development of a scalable, fully interactive standard for cyberspace.
The inaugural meeting of the group was held from the 20th to the 23rd of August 1995, in Half Moon Bay. The second meeting was held October 23-24, in Construct's offices in San Francisco. It was at this meeting that the VAG changed its strategic focus from technical design to process guidance. This shift resulted in a Request-For-Proposals (RFP ) for VRML 2.0. The third meeting was held February 5-6 in Intervista's offices in San Francisco, to discuss the process relating to the VRML 2.0 RFP. During this meeting, the VAG proposed a formal process for the selection of a VRML 2.0 specification. The fourth meeting, on March 25th was a return to Half Moon Bay. The VAG reviewed the RFP polling results and unanimously agreed that the Moving Worlds proposal would officially become the working document for VRML 2.0. We agreed on a tentative schedule for finalizing the VRML 2.0 Specification. The next meeting of the VAG is tentatively planned for June to finalize the details of the VRML 2.0 Specification, and to plan the next step.
Our goal is to foster a consensus of the VRML community (see vrml.wired.com for how to join the mailing list and participate in this consensus-building process).
