The paper presents findings collated from the creation of an interactive 3D learning resource, a showcase gallery which exhibits product designs, modeled by university students, in an online 3D environment. The design and implementation are described with alternative methodologies, comprising suggested findings. The insights, gained from the 3D web project, are detailed and include solutions for future developments. The paper considers whether interactive web-based environments offer an effective alternative to 2D web displays.

The design and implementation are described with alternative methodologies, comprising suggested findings. The insights, gained from the 3D web project, are detailed and include solutions for future developments. The paper considers whether interactive web-based environments offer an effective alternative to 2D web displays. The conducted research considers the first 3 stages of the project; namely, the first stage is the research of the most suited 3D Web software; the second stage includes the analysis of the interactivity required to showcase the models; and the third stage is devoted to the website design and its development. The interactive environment provides users with sources for individual investigations and sharing best practice.
