VRML Support
The Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) is an ISO standard that is open, text-based, and uses a WWW-oriented format. You use VRML to define a virtual world that you can display with a VRML viewer and connect to a Simulink model.
The Virtual Reality Toolbox uses many of the advanced features defined in the current VRML97 specification. The term VRML, in this guide, always refers to VRML as defined in the VRML97 standard ISO/IEC 14772-1:1997. This format includes a description of 3-D scenes, sounds, internal actions, and WWW anchors.
The Virtual Reality Toolbox analyzes the structure of the virtual world, determines what signals are available, and makes the signals available from MATLAB and Simulink.
The Virtual Reality Toolbox viewer supports the majority of VRML97 standard nodes, allowing you almost complete control over associated virtual worlds. The blaxxun Contact plug-in supports all of VRML97 standard nodes.
The Virtual Reality Toolbox makes sure that the changes made to a virtual world are reflected in MATLAB and Simulink. If you change the viewpoint in your virtual world, this change occurs in the vrworld object properties in MATLAB and Simulink.
The Virtual Reality Toolbox includes functions for retrieving and changing virtual world properties.
