Abstract
We present the Zoom Illustrator which illustrates complex 3D-models for teaching anatomy. Our system is a semi-interactive tool which combines an animation mode and an interactive mode. While the animation mode is suitable for beginners, the interactive mode is dedicated to experienced users. The animation is controlled by scripts specifying what should be explained in which level of detail.
The design of the animation and the interactive components is directed to generate illustrations according to the user's interest. This includes the presentation of text and the parameterization of the rendered image.
Changes on the textual part, interactively requested or generated in an animation, are propagated to the graphics part and vice versa. Thus the display of an explanation results in an adaptation of the corresponding graphical part.
