Carina is a cross-platform xVRML viewer application with support for
VRML97 and both X3D classic and X3D xml encodings. The new v20050927 is the first to include a Windows version and X3D support. Carina uses XSL-T to convert between formats such as X3D xml to xVRML. The application knows about the transformation and, with Java enabled, will load the file as if it had a native parser specifically for that format. This opens the door for future versions of Carina to allow end-users to add transformations, and for Carina to chain them together until a format is reached that it can load. People who have written transformations from another format to X3D will be able to add those transformations to the application for directly loading those files. Downloads are available for Windows, Mac, and Linux (as source)
