🔖<https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dResources.html#VRMLBooks> Books on Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) 97
VRML design began in 1994 and the language became a stable International Standard in 1997. Of interest: X3D is a third-generation design that is fully backwards-compatible with the second-generation VRML 97 standard. Thus all design guidelines and technical details in the following textbooks remains relevant.
