Medicine is a very important aspect of our lives, but also a science that requires a lot of time, patience and resources of many kinds. The amount of information held inside of a human body is huge, and that information must be taken out from books and atlases, understood and applied by students and doctors. From a technical point of view, an important aspect of medicine is the 3D model of the human body. Such a model is a very complex one, and requires many resources. In our days it's not hard to realize that even with personal computer resources, but if we look into the near future we see that mobile devices are dominating the world of technology and are becomming an important part of the learning process. Running a full 3D human body directly from a smartphone or tablet, for students learning, hospital practice or even for direct guidance into medical procedures is a problem because of the limitations, both software and hardware. In this paper is suggested 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 that if the model is updated, everyone can get those updates in real time, that means that if a doctor from a part of a world is adding a scenario or a description for a small part of the model, or a new version of an existing piece(heart, lungs, etc), in no more than 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 is shown that such a model can update in real time and be available on smart modern mobile devices with no more than with a few screen touches. | Keywords
