I am quite sure OpenVRML will not work on iOS out of the box. There are
lots of dependencies that would have to be ported for it to work and I
am sure nobody did that. Furthermore, the renderer included in OpenVRML
is pretty much standard OpenGL 2.x, it certainly does not support OpenGL
ES needed on iOS and thus the code will fail to compile. However, feel
free to contact authors and ask them directly.

On the other hand, I would stay away from VRML as a plague - it is a
long obsolete format, the plugin doesn't support every VRML feature and
parsing it is very expensive. You will be far better off using one of
the binary formats, especially when you are on an embedded device with
limited memory and CPU power. Most likely you need to only export some
meshes and materials, VRML is a a huge overkill for that.

If your data are in VRML, convert them on the desktop and use only the
converted files on the device.

Regards,

Jan
