Abstract :
The paper approaches an educational application of 3D dynamic interactive images of medical devices. Manuals containing 3D images are considered more efficient than classic manuals. Combination of 3D interactive images with World Wide Web technologies makes the educational activities and especially the e-learning more attractive. Some Web technologies used in creation of 3D interactivity were compared in order to choose a suitable environment for learning in the field of medical devices. Results of the study were used in the elaboration of an international e-learning platform in the frame of the Leonardo da Vinci educational program. The originality of the project consists in the interactivity of 3D images used in lessons.
