Abstract
VRML is playing a more and more important part in the context of industrial Intranet applications for the 3D visualization of product and production data. New industrial areas of application are opening up and create new requirements for VRML authoring tools. In this paper we want to show the use of VRML in the context of industrial applications based on several examples. Furthermore we will deduce additional authoring requirements that must be met by VRML authoring tools in order to suit the discussed industrial application examples and suggest a solution concept. We show the realization of this approach on the basis of a new set of VRML authoring tools and make a point of how the special authoring concepts described can be used to solve the general authoring problem.
