Google Body Browser is like Google Earth for the body

By | December 17, 2010, 7:12 AM PST

Google has transformed the way we can zoom in and look at the Earth. So why not do the same for the human body?

Enter Google Body Browser, where you can literally strip away every muscle, gland, nerve, tissue, bone and organ from the human body. Just search for what you want to look at. That’s pretty cool.

The good part is that you don’t need any plug-ins to use it. It works on any WebGL supported browser. The app isn’t available in Google Labs yet. But this is how you can try it now.

I heard that Boonsri was the model for these images.

It is pretty amazing how they can do that. I'd love to know what the data looks like and how it is organized.
