Need Advice on Graphics Solution

I know this is done all the time, I just don't know enough about the technology to move forward here.

I would like to provide a web service that has these capabilties.  
1. Via a web page a user can launch a 3D world.
2. User can fly through world and move objects around.  (Kind of like playing quake).
3. User can load and watch some canned scenarios in the world.
4. Objects in the world can
    a.  Trigger back end processing / data retrieval.  example:  In my 3D world, I pick up a saw and I have an option to get its user manual.
    b.  Show status.  I can, from the back end modify appearances of objects.


Recommendations?
Advice on where to begin?
Examples?

Thanks...

That's awesome!!!  About the only programming language I know is Java.  

Can It handle some pre-programmed fly throughs?

Also,  I admit I probably can't handle this entirely on my own.   Where can I find some low cost Ad-hoc developers to help on a small project such as this?   (Probably out of scope for this forum, apologies up front).

Usually the best place to find developers on an Ad-hoc basis is either through Forums like this or through universities. You might be able to convince some university students to assist as part of a project.

Java is probably your best option from a programmig language perspective.
im not sure about ad-hoc developers for free, but yeah if you're still at university you could undertake something like this as a major programming project.

otherwise these websites would be a good place to start to hire a programmer to help you out. Just make sure you have everything planned first and mostly finalized to the minute detail, so the programmer knows what to do and can do it in a quick time:
