3D model of the inner ear sourced from:
Ear Mesh Visualization Improvements
User Experience Enhancements
- Add interactive controls guide (how to rotate, zoom, pan the ear model)
- Implement a loading indicator while the ear model loads
- Create a settings panel for customization options
- Add responsive design for mobile devices
Visual Improvements
- Enhance lighting to better highlight anatomical features
- Add optional anatomical labels for different parts of the ear
- Include toggleable cutaway views to see internal ear structures
- Implement multiple material options (transparent, wireframe, realistic)
Educational Features
- Add an information panel with ear anatomy descriptions
- Implement interactive hotspots that explain ear functions
- Create animation sequences showing how sound travels through the ear
- Include comparisons between normal and pathological ear conditions
Technical Enhancements
- Optimize the model for better performance
- Support GLTF format (more efficient than FBX)
- Implement progressive loading for faster initial rendering
- Add screenshot/sharing capabilities
Audio Features
- Integrate audio simulations demonstrating how different frequencies affect the ear
- Visualize sound waves interacting with the ear model
- Add hearing test demonstrations
- Create visual feedback based on microphone input
