Most of them are tensegrities anyway. These are VRML realizations of selected structures from the Synergetics Gallery and A Practical Guide to Tensegrity Design. I've put semi-transparent platforms against some of the ones that are meant to sit on a flat surface. There are still a few more I want to add. Floppy's VRML97 Tutorial has been a useful reference, and I've been using Cortona's free browser to view them myself. If you have viewing problems on the Cortona or another browser, I'd appreciate a notification. See contact information at the bottom of the page.
