Abstract
This paper presents a novel approach to support students to learn a comprehensive domain-specific terminology and to understand textual descriptions of complex-shaped objects. We implemented an experimental system where learners can interactively explore textual descriptions and 3D visualizations. We propose a method for hierarchical content representations of text documents and views on 3D models. Based on these data structures, user interactions on texts and interactive 3D visualizations are transformed into queries to an information retrieval system. This enables us to coordinate the content of both media, to focus the attention of the user on the most salient graphical objects, and to suggest potential relevant text segments in large text documents and appropriate views on 3D models to illustrate the spatial relations between the relevant domain objects of the query. Finally, we demonstrated this concept in an interactive tutoring environment based on standard textbooks on human anatomy.
