Virtual Reality Modelling Language(VRML) comprises coordinates, graphical components, and colors and it was developed with the world wide web in mind. This VRML is commonly referred to as the” worlds.” Hence the .wrl file extension. The files are saved in ASCII format. Their form of storage allows editing using a text editor. The .wrl was developed by ISO/IEC as a 3D image file. The VRML browser allows plugins to show the real environment. The files give browsers all the detail about the objects in question. Things like mapping, colors, and textures are highlighted. The files are easily transferred over the internet by the use of gzip compression. Several modeling applications save their files using this extension. Developers, Architects, and Designers are the most common users of these files. The browser is quick to pick information after a user clicks on a given element. The format aims to translate3D objects into language that is easy for the internet to understand and interpret. Thanks to this feature, it creates an interactive forum for its users. The images can be viewed, rotated, and moved to see how they would look like in real life situation. Windows 10, Mac, Linux, and IoS are the programs that can open the .wrl files.
