VRML is dead.  I had cave surveys in it and it was never satisfying.

Ultimately, computer images are 2D, and the fuss about making high frame 
rates merely so you can drag the mouse back and forth is, I think, 
over-rated.  Animation in time is very useful on a 3D image, but not 
necessarily animation in viewing angle.  Unfortunately all the tools are 
optimized to do the latter, but not the former.
