Zusammenfassung:Nowadays, 3D digital atlases of human body are extensively used in medical education. A 3D representation of the anatomical structure is quite difficult requiring many hardware resources. Therefore, a 3D full human body rendering on a Smartphone or tablet is more difficult because of the limitations, both software and hardware. In this paper we propose a system that allows full 3D human body model to be available directly on a mobile device. Using last-minute 3D rendering technologies, this study shows that benefiting from cloud computing modern expansion and processing power, it is possible to use the mobile device only as a display and the power of cloud as a source from unlimited resources for processing, storage and video rendering. This kind of system involves a single model available for everyone and has a great capability. More exactly, when the model is updated, everyone can see those updates in real time (for instance, if a doctor from a part of a world adds a scenario, a description of a small part of the model or a new version of an existing piece (heart, lungs etc.) in a few minutes a student from the other side of the world can see on his own model those changes. A 3D human body model is itself a challenging research topic and in this paper it is shown that such a model can be updated in real time and be available on smart modern mobile devices with no more than several screen touches.
