3D VRML


This page contains VRML's of various heart structures. To see them, you need to install a VRML viewer in your browser (unless you have one already), we recomend to use Cortona VRML client (Free and available for Windows and Mac), which is quick and very easy to install and can be also used for powerpoint presentations.
