Can be used to enliven numerous pages, such as providing high-level guides to a site, collections of related or cool links, or sharing favorites or bookmarks. CiteMaps are interactive VRML scenes of hyperlinked 3D objects. The CiteMap Builder is easy to use, even for those with no VRML experience. Over 100 3D objects can be dragged and dropped onto a grid, and annotated with URL, label, title, and abstract. The resulting 3D landscape can be traversed using any VRML97 enabled browser. The 3D scene can be embedded in an HTML page, or placed into a two-frame page with a VRML window linked to an HTML window. The VRML files created are easily edited to change colors, add image textures, etc., providing an excellent entry point for learning about creating 3D Web pages. CiteMap Builder comes with a tool called VRML Data Trimmer which can be used to greatly reduce the size of the resulting VRML files.
