Abstract: A method of providing an electronic manual with three-dimensional (3D) virtual models includes instructions executed by a processor and includes retrieving an electronic manual from a memory device and displaying the electronic manual on a display interface of a display device, where the electronic manual includes a textual instruction section and a virtual model section and where the virtual model section includes a 3D virtual model of an object. The method includes receiving, by a user interface of the display device, a user input selecting a linked text displayed in the textual instruction section, identifying a component of the object in the 3D virtual model that is linked to the linked text, and highlighting, in response to identifying the component of the object in the 3D virtual model, the component of the object in the 3D virtual model displayed on display interface of the display device.

Abstract: In an example embodiment of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented system for providing endoscopic simulations includes a 3D organ model and a graphical user interface (GUI) displayed on a screen. The GUI includes a device model simulating a medical device displayed in the GUI and configured to be manipulated by a first user input to the GUI. The GUI also includes an internal view of the 3D organ model, wherein the internal view is controlled by the manipulation of the device model and simulates a view captured by the simulated medical device. The GUI also includes an external view of the 3D organ model, wherein the external view is controlled by a second user input to the GUI.
