This looks awesome and runs fast on my quad core system using chrome 9.

I got carried away dragging and zooming around but missed one thing. The search box is really powerful. You can locate each and every organ using it. I can imagine this being incredibly useful for medical students etc.

Good job Google.

Runs fast on my Core 2 Duo too. You can enable "GPU Accelerated Compositing" in about:flags.

Wow. Gpu acceleration works wonderfully on the Nvidia Linux Binary driver. 9800GT stock

The typical high-Cpu usage dropped like a rock.

For stuff like this, why not serve up the JavaScript unminified? It seems like the perfect kind of project to learn from.

From brief code inspection, it looks like this project uses ThreeD library:

Here are other examples from Google using ThreeD which are not minified:

this runs a little slow on my mac, anyone else having issues?

Also, what are those things on her nipples? You can see it clearly when the opacity of everything is set to 0 except for a slight opaqueness of the body.
