A word from the Web site designers' to VRML visitors
All other signs seen in this snapshot of the elevator wall of the virtual reality part of this Web site are inoperable. The VRML product by Virtus Corporation, 3D Website Builder, was purchased in good faith and the manual's directions to create the VRML world carefully followed. After 300+ work hours the exciting time to go online finally arrived. It was with great horror to then realize that the proprietary browser for their product did not work "because it did not make it out of the beta version"! Yet the VRML building program's CD and manual had already on the market for months. The browser was not included in the package but had to be downloaded from www.virtus.com. We held out hope that the company must truly still be attempting to provide a browser that works for their marketed "product for the Web" bought by so many consumers, such as us. But after many emailpleas NO TECH SUPPORT has yet been created for the product. We now seek any visitor's support in getting Virtus Corporation to seriously respond to the problem and make an effort to help us. Please EMAIL them to express your personal disappointment for the broken links in their VRML program. Imagine if all the sign links in all the VRML buildings as designed here WORKED! So much more fun and realism, a fullfillment of the site designers' dream for all you great art loving travelers out there in Cyberspace. For months we have continued to request help from Virtus Corporation but their advice so far has been to just "use Navigator"or their Player (made for another of their VRML products), acknowledging their defunct VRML browser. The converted .wrl files required for Navigator are visually terrible (textures are lost and color values drastically altered, NO-NOs for art!) and the navigational tools are crude. Player is better in these aspects but, shucks, still all sign links within .wsb (Virtus's proprietary VRML file type) remain brain dead.
