Abstract

We present in this paper a new method for building and exploring a 3D hypermedia in virtual reality and for a biomedical domain. Starting from the acquisition of stereoscopic images and from the calibration of cameras, our system offers the user the possibility to visualize these images in 3D and to annotate specific areas with texts or voice recording. Then the user may define links between annotations, and each annotation may point to annotations from the same image or from other images. The user thus constructs a 3D hypermedia. He may have a global view of the images database using a graph display. We present a first graph which was built with images of faces.
