This is so cool. Very well done. A feature request would be to add layering for muscles: I can't pick out the hip rotators and Piriformis. Ditto for Transversus abdominis.

The model doesn't seem to be totally complete. Some organs are not there yet. Inner ear, for example.

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.

Am I crazy or does "heart" not come up in the search? I mean, I'm quite sure I can find it on my own, but...

Also I don't have the greatest video card so the auto-search is really irritating.

Odd that you got downvoted for this when under your normal account you usually get upvoted...

You're not crazy. They just listed the parts of the heart separately. Look for the atrium and the ventricles.

You know what I would like? Google for my house. As in, I get a set of rfid tags that I can put on my keys, my remote, checkbook, or whatever. In the event I can't find something, I have a little device I can use to track down the missing item.

Completely unusable on my Macbook. It's a 4 year old machine though and not a Pro.

Are you running 10.5 or 10.6? Performance will be slow for large windows on 10.5

Yeah I'm on a 10.5. Why would it be slower depending on window size?

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.

Yes I know what mammary glands are. Now why would they be shown under the body (skin, clothing) tag?

That is odd, I'm not sure. I know you said Beta channel, but what version number are you running? It needs to be >9.0 for WebGL to be on by default.

If you could file a bug at http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list with the contents of your about:gpu page, we'll do our best to figure it out.
