Abstract

We show a practical use of VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) to represent a portion of the web in 3D. Some issues of abstract data space visualization are addressed and a few propositions that improve navigation and legibility are made. BED (Bookmarks Exploring Dabbler) 3D bookmark generator is based on VRML version 1.0; therefore, only static scenes can be created. The interaction in such scenes is limited to navigation and link selection, there is no way to manipulate objects and modify the scene

VRML

VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language, pronounced vermal or by its initials, originally—before 1995—known as the Virtual Reality Markup Language) is a standard for representing 3-dimensional (3D) interactive vector graphics, designed particularly with the World Wide Web in mind. It has been superseded by X3D. VRML is a format where, e.g., vertices and edges for a 3D polygon can be specified along with the surface color, UV-mapped textures, shininess, transparency, and so on.

Safari (web browser)

Safari is a web browser developed by Apple. It is built into Apple's operating systems, including macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, and uses Apple's open-source browser engine WebKit, which was derived from KHTML. Safari was introduced in Mac OS X Panther in January 2003. It was included with the iPhone since the latter's first generation, which came out in 2007. At that time, Safari was the fastest browser on the Mac. Between 2007 and 2012, Apple maintained a Windows version, but abandoned it due to low market share.

Firefox version history

Firefox was created by Dave Hyatt and Blake Ross as an experimental branch of the Mozilla browser, first released as Firefox 1.0 on November 9, 2004. Starting with version 5.0, a rapid release cycle was put into effect, resulting in a new major version release every six weeks. This was gradually accelerated further in late 2019, so that new major releases occur on four-week cycles starting in 2020. Firefox early version history In March 2011, Mozilla presented plans to switch to a faster 16-week development cycle, similar to Google Chrome.
