      VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is a high level graphic language for describing 3D virtual objects and worlds on Internet. The paper considers the implementation of VRML and Java for story visualization tasks. It focuses on creating and manipulating the properties of 3D virtual objects by using natural language input. We first explore the potential of the binding between VRML and Java technologies for generating the interactive virtual worlds. We then investigate the possibilities and limitations of these methods. Finally, we present an inside look into our Story Visualiser graphic engine, discussing its internal architecture and some of the insights of Java, XML and VRML technology we have gained during its development.
