Various data file type icon Various data file type

The xaf file extension is mainly related to Microsoft's Active VRML. Virtual Reality Modeling Language is a proposal built on top Microsoft's Direct X suite of graphics/multimedia APIs, and also incorporates Microsoft's Visual Basic Script, and Microsoft's Reactive Behavior Modeling Language.

The special features of Active VRML are:

  • All objects implicitly vary with time, and time can be included as a parameter when describing an object's behavior.
  • Interactivity is built in because objects have reactivity and can switch from one time varying behavior to another.
  • All media are equal, and therefore can be combined to form composite objects such as a shape with a sound that moves, or a shape with a moving surface.
  • All existing file formats can be included inside Active VRML.
