Acupuncture is the kernel of traditional Chinese medicine and is nowadays being accepted by the whole world. The precise orientation of the points and meridian is important in acupuncture while it is difficult to be done via the 2-dimension pictures. So the 3D interactive exhibition is undoubtedly superior to the traditional 2D way. A Web3D technology Cult3D and its advantages in contrast to VRML are presented. The implementation process of interactive human point exhibition by using Cult3D is discussed in detail. A primary attempt of expressing the knowledge system of meridian more intuitionisticly is made
