title: [New kinds of 3-dimensional atlases of the anatomy and function of the human body].
abstract: It is a drawback of classical multimedia programs for the visualization of spatial knowledge, that they are based on a limited number of predefined views. This paper describes a model that combines pictorial and symbolic knowledge about spatial structures in a way that allows arbitrary views of the scene and the interrogation of the model in the context of the actual view. The style of the pictorial presentation only depends on the objective and the phantasy of the user. The functionality of the approach is demonstrated with the example of the human head. It is furthermore shown that the model potentially allows the simulation or generation of all classical visual teaching aids for anatomy.
