SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 3, 1997--An interactive demo of V-Realm(TM) Builder 2.0, the award-winning VRML authoring package from Ligos Technology, is now available on Microsoft's new VRML 2.0 Tools CD. The CD-ROM, which showcases leading VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) products, is available at no charge from the Microsoft Web site at www.microsoft.com/vrml/ . V-Realm Builder 2.0, recently named "Best VRML Authoring Package" by Web Techniques magazine, was chosen by Microsoft as part of its efforts to highlight cutting-edge tools for creating immersive, interactive 3-D content for the Internet and intranets.

"We're pleased that Microsoft recognized the capabilities of V-Realm Builder and chose it for this project," said Peter Forman, chief executive officer of Ligos. "This CD represents a unique opportunity for Web developers and other content creators to see the many design options that VRML gives them."

V-Realm Builder 2.0 provides Web designers and content providers with the powerful tools they need to create visually enhanced, 3-D enabled Internet sites. These tools, unleashed by a new generation of Web browsers that allow seamless integration of VRML into traditional HTML sites, deliver impressive graphics and interfaces that can be used to create a variety of exciting Web content, including interactive advertising, 3-D visualized data and virtual reality applications. Unlike animated GIFs and dynamic HTML, VRML offers a new level of interactivity that truly brings Web sites to life. By creating content with V-Realm Builder, companies can greatly enhance their investment in the Internet and give their Web sites a competitive edge.
