Graham's background is in architecture. Graham was the first person to create VRML visualizations for commercial databases, specifically for Sybase. He is currently writing a book on virtual architecture. He feels that the theories outlined in this book will constitute his most important contribution in the field. At BigBook, Graham applies his effort to creating BigBook3D, a commercial, VRML-centered application on the Internet.
Every craft needs to have a person who only goes by one name.
Mitra has been building online services for over 12 years and got into VRML just before starting work on World's Chat. Mitra's main contribution to the field has been in the area of multi-user technology. As Chief Networking Officer at World's Inc., Mitra helped develop protocols for the first 3D chat systems. Mitra created conformance tests for VRML 1.0. and co- authored the VRML 2.0 spec, on which he is now busy cleaning up loose ends for the standardization process. He is also at work on both the binary format and the Living Worlds proposal, one of the potential standards for portable personal avatars.
