Abstract

Virtual reality is extensively used in medicine, from medical education and training to surgery simulation and planning and many other areas. Virtual anatomic models are critical components in the medicine virtual reality applications. Java3D has provided a multi-platform scene graph based visualization development package that suitable for building virtual reality applications. This paper discussed the characteristics of virtual anatomic models for medicine virtual reality applications and the features of Java3D, and meanwhile presented our efforts of building a framework based on Java3D that is suitable for producing virtual anatomic models for medicine virtual reality applications.
