The use of these resources allows to visualize topics, such as electro-technical and physical processes in the interior of complex devices. This paper addresses the challenge of combining rich interactivity and adequate realism with 3D exercise material for distance elearning. %K e-learning %K 3d Learning Objects %K Educational Material %K Virtual Lab %K Engineering Education %K Virtual Reality %K 3d Animation %U www.iiisci.org/Journal/CV$/sci/pdfs/HEB953MJ.pdf
