Google Body Browser
- nlanier 16y agoI have nothing insightful to say but I am in awe.
- ebtalley 16y agoWindows 7 Google Chrome beta.. check AMD 6 core.. check GeForce 210.. check Im getting: To use Body Browser, you'll need a Web browser with WebGL support. what am I missing?
- ebtalley 16y agonm, restart had not completed to update from version 7 to version 9.
- henrybridge 16y agoah, glad to hear it!
- henrybridge 16y agoThat 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 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.
- bcl 16y agoReally, really slow on chromium 9.0.6 (fedora14 dual core system). Unusably slow.
- justinxreese 16y agoDoesn't work on the newest Chrome?
- arnorhs 16y agoI think you'll need the beta. Version 9+. I needed to install it separately, I had the latest chrome v 8.XX
- gabriele 16y agoyou need to enable WebGL in about:flags in Chrome 8.0.552.224
- justinxreese 16y agoThanks!
- aphyr 16y agoWorks great for me on Chromium 9.0.572, Ubuntu 10.10, Macbook Pro 3,1. 3d accel helps.

- ergo98 16y agoWorks 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.
- torme 16y agoI 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.
- modeless 16y agoWhat OS, and what GPU?
- natmaster 16y agoCan you paste the Graphics section on the about:support page?
- torme 16y agoAdapter Description: NVIDIA Quadro NVS 295 Vendor ID: 10de Device ID: 06fd Adapter RAM: 256 Adapter Drivers: nvd3dumx,nvwgf2umx,nvwgf2umx nvd3dum,nvwgf2um,nvwgf2um Driver Version: 8.15.11.9038 Driver Date: 7-14-2009 Direct2D Enabled: true DirectWrite Enabled: true GPU Accelerated Windows: 1/1 Direct3D 10 Running on windows 7, Xeon quad core 3.20 GHZ, 6 Gig ram

- acangiano 16y agoCan we leave the novelty accounts to Reddit, please?
- sp332 16y agoSee http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2008143 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2008143
- DupDetector 16y agoHuh. I thought this was something completely different. I thought this was a robot to help cross-references submissions about the same topic, and find duplicates that the built-in dup detector doesn't find. As such, I thought it would be valuable.
- coderdude 16y agoI think he thinks you're just using DupDetector as a cute name while you post this stuff.
- acangiano 16y agoIf it's a bot, I can see the value in it. It would be better as a built-in feature, but nevertheless it makes sense. I just hope that it doesn't inspire less useful accounts which would be more akin to Reddit's novelty accounts.
- bmm6o 16y agoAre you asking him to change the account name, or stop detecting dupes?
- everest81 16y agoso i guess it's just iso-surface extraction under the hood
- deleted 16y ago[deleted]
- davydka 16y agoIt's a little risque in the latest webkit nightly build, osx.
- carbocation 16y agoNetter, we hardly knew ye.
- niels_olson 16y agothey definitely need to work on more sophisticated dissections, and Netter would be a GREAT start!
- scotth 16y agoFor stuff like this, why not serve up the JavaScript unminified? It seems like the perfect kind of project to learn from.
- jackowayed 16y agohttp://jsbeautifier.org/ http://jsbeautifier.org/
- bd 16y agoFrom brief code inspection, it looks like this project uses ThreeD library: http://code.google.com/p/threedlibrary/ http://code.google.com/p/threedlibrary/ Here are other examples from Google using ThreeD which are not minified: http://code.google.com/p/webglsamples/ http://code.google.com/p/webglsamples/

- jpravetz 16y agoThis 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.
- joezydeco 16y agoThe model doesn't seem to be totally complete. Some organs are not there yet. Inner ear, for example.
- arnorhs 16y agoThis 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.
- swah 16y agoRuns fast on my Core 2 Duo too. You can enable "GPU Accelerated Compositing" in about:flags.
- nollidge 16y agoAm 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.
- a-priori 16y agoYou're not crazy. They just listed the parts of the heart separately. Look for the atrium and the ventricles.
- qjz 16y agoIsn't it a bit prudish not to fully expose the skin? It's not much better than a Barbie doll. And where's Ken?
- joezydeco 16y agoI think it's a bit smart to leave it out until the attention is on the next shiny thing and the prudes have moved on.
- ars 16y agoIs it bad to be prudish? 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.
- a-priori 16y agoI'm pretty sure Grey's Anatomy (the book, not the show!) doesn't draw clothing over the figures...
- dmvaldman 16y agothis 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.
- mike-cardwell 16y agoCompletely unusable on my Macbook. It's a 4 year old machine though and not a Pro.
- henrybridge 16y agoAre you running 10.5 or 10.6? Performance will be slow for large windows on 10.5
- dmvaldman 16y agoYeah I'm on a 10.5. Why would it be slower depending on window size?
- henrybridge 16y agoBecause Chrome has a multiprocess rendering architecture, and OS 10.5 doesn't provide a good path for hardware-accelerated rendering across processes. This means Chrome on 10.5 has to render each frame on the GPU, read it back to main memory as an image and then repaint it to the screen elsewhere. The bigger the window, the bigger the image and the longer this readback/copy takes.
- mike-cardwell 16y ago10.6

- efnx 16y agoIt's nice to see webgl being added to the Chrome beta, no more downloading Chromium and having to open it with cli options.
- plnewman 16y agoYou 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.
- blahblahblah 16y agoThis is interesting in terms of its potential. However, right now this is really the bare minimum implementable unit of functionality and is a little too limited to be of practical use in teaching anatomy. 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).
- slug 16y agoWorks great on latest chrome beta 64bit linux, GPU Accelerated Compositing, nvidia card, core 2 duo. 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-here-comes-3d-web.html 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.
- sharjeel 16y agoEven though Google has a consistent color theme in all of its interfaces, I strongly believe that black background here would make it much more usable. Pretty awesome though!
