Collaborative Worlds

To create a collaborative world, you will create a VRML world with a partner. Both partners should agree on the type of world, then you both can work on it together.

1. Describe the world in a single sentence or paragraph, to create a shared vision.
   e.g.    I would like to create a scene of a park during a community festival.
2. Agree on the components needed.
   e.g.    It will consist of grass on the ground, clouds in the sky, a merry-go round, a dog, a ball, kids, and a bird.
3. Agree on the animation needed.
   e.g.    a dog chasing a ball, kids running around, and a bird flying by.
4. Save the world in your World# directory.
   e.g.     ./My Worlds/park.wrl
5. View your world using your Netscape browser.
