Human anatomy contains the Google treatment with body browser

Google has created another gizmo called the Body Browser that explores human physiology in minute detail. Google Body Browser presents a detailed inventory of human body parts and the way they work together in interactive detail. Anyone with a computer and a compatible browser can use Google Body Browser to gain 3-D insight into their own internal condition.

The way the body browser from Google performs

Google’s Body Browser opens with the image of a woman standing in front of you in her workout clothes. It doesn’t get inappropriate. She stays clothed. You’ll zoom in and peel back layers of the body to see thing such as muscles, organs, arteries, veins, bones and nerves in order to focus on an area of the human body. You are able to put “labels” with notes on different parts of the body if needed which makes it like Google Maps. You can watch how joints work also as watching blood flow through the heart using the Google Body Browser.

Displacing existing anatomy computer software

Research tools that students and doctors use are probably going to be replaced by Google Body Browser. Gray’s Anatomy pages might end up in a medical museum soon. Many might lose their business. Primal Pictures and Visible Body are examples of 3-D developers that might lose out. It might be utilized as visual aid in patient/colleague conferences for doctors or might even be used as an online educational tool. Tech experts predict that Google will regularly update the body browser to perform such functions as illustrating the progression of diseases and showing how surgeries repair damaged joints.

Methods body browser can be utilized

There are WebGL applications. Google Body Browser is one of these. WebGL is default-enabled in the beta 9 version of Google Chrome. There are other WebGL compatible browsers available too. These include Firefox 4 and Chrome Canary Build. Google 8 will allow you to have WebGL but only if you enable it. This can be done by putting in the address bar “about:flags,” then going next to “WebGL” and clicking “Enable,” and then clicking “Restart now” to activate it. You do not need to install any Flash, Java or other plug-ins to get Google Body Browser going after it’s enabled.
