'''VRML''' ('''Virtual Reality Modeling Language''', pronounced ''vermal'' or by its initials, originally—before 1995—known as the Virtual Reality Markup Language) is a standard [[file format]] for representing [[3-D computer graphics|3-dimensional]] (3D) interactive [[vector graphics]], designed particularly with the [[World Wide Web]] in mind. It has been superseded by [[X3D]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Is a 3D web more than just empty promises? |author= Paul Festa and John Borland |work=CNET News.com |date= May 19, 2005 |url=http://news.zdnet.co.uk/internet/0,1000000097,39199121,00.htm }}</ref>
