摘要
Biological systems are three-dimensional structures living in three-dimensional space. So it is natural to use VRML as a tool in the biological or medical educational process. Our group has been developing VRML biological worlds for several years (http://verbena.fe.uni-1j.si/similar to tomaz/VRML/). We are visualizing biological structures which are difficult to observe without special instruments and processes which are difficult to understand from a textbook alone. We are investigating how to build optimal biological VRML worlds small in file size, but still expressive enough to serve as an effective "fast learning tool" in biology.
