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?
Features I'd like to see: 1. Arrows from the labels to the anatomical structure so you can tell which label refers to which structure without having to interactively click each label to highlight the structure. 2. I assume they've built their 3D model from the publicly available Visible Human Project data. It would be nice to be able to flip through axial, coronal, and sagittal stacks of the Visible Human images and see the image plane superimposed on the 3D view for localization and have anatomical structures labeled on the cross sectional images as well. It would also be nice to be able to select which cross sectional imaging modality is displayed (Visible Human has MRI, CT, and photographed cryosections).
Uses negligible amount of CPU and seems as fluid as a local OpenGL application. The other webgl examples from http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2010/12/webgl-now-in-beta-her... work pretty well too, although the "previous page" button doesn't seem to work properly, so I have to close the tab.
Isn't it a bit prudish not to fully expose the skin? It's not much better than a Barbie doll. And where's Ken?
What's the upside of fully exposing the skin? I don't think skin exploration is the goal of this project, and this way they aren't alienating part of their audience.
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.
Works wonderfully in FF 4b7. It's a pretty simple model and I'm on a high end machine, so that isn't all that incredible (like a side-scrolling canvas demo), but it's neat.
I have the exact opposite experience actually in FF 4b7, and though I'm not running some crazy awesome machine, its still a decent box. The page basically crashes the browser.
