Have you heard of the new Google Body Browser? Well, the Google labs has just launched a body browsing Web page that will allow its users to look up at an organ and find it in the human body. Google seems to be coming out with a lot of new applications lately and seems very serious in trying out something new.
Basically, the Google Body Browser is a very interesting WebGL supported application that allows its users to explore the human body just like how the Google Earth is exploring the world. Well, at first it seems to be a little impossible to have such an application that can do such thing, but this thing is really for real although it cannot be denied that it works a little bit difficult.
The Google Body Browser actually allows its users to search the human body in three different dimensions. It uses WebGL, a 3D graphics API that runs within the said browser. However, you need to install a beta version of the Google Chrome browser first in order to try it out. After successfully installing it, you need to restart your browser and then you can already try the Body Browser and see how it works.
The Body Browser features a detailed 3D model of the human body that you can zoom in and navigate those body parts that interest you. In this browser, you can simply click a body part in order to know its anatomy or search for muscles, organs, bones and more. This browser would be a useful tool especially for those people in the medical fields, students and researchers out there.
However, this Body Browser is a little bit limited. There is no way to switch from the default female body model and there is also no way to find additional video and other information about the human body as well. Although it is also a bit surprising that this browser doesn’t need a plug-in in order to work.
In spite of the issues raised about this new browser, the fact still remains that this is such a helpful application that will help many in understanding the human body. Google may just need to do a little more improvement and tweak some of its own technology in order to make the Google Body Browser better. So let us wait and see if Google will come out with a better version of this browser in the future.
