METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EDITING DATA USED IN CREATING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENT

Preparation of the script used for making a more interactive world using Java or other language is difficult due to the preparation of the content. In particular, the portion connecting the Java language and VRML is difficult. The present invention uses a new Script Expert. A model editing tool 420 generates graphic data showing the shape etc. of an object and adds sensors for generating events. A template preparation tool 428 prepares a template of a script program compatible with the setting of data input and output between nodes, while the user uses a text editor 426 for editing to prepare the script. The text editor 426 operates in linkage when there is a change in a setting of the data input and output between nodes and changes the substance of the script to make it compatible with the changed setting. A Java compiler 468 complies the script automatically before execution of the content by a browser emulator 460.
