Google launched the Google Body Browser which is basically Google Earth for the human body. This body browser is said to be a Google Earth-like experience for the human body. Google said in an introduction, “Body Browser is a detailed 3D model of the human body”. It is a three-dimensional, multi-layered browser version of those Visible Man/Woman model kits. It lets you  peel back anatomical layers, zoom in, and navigate to parts. You can also click to identify anatomy, or search for muscles, organs, bones, and more

Google Body Browser has a search function, that lets you locate any part of the body by just typing in the name. You can expose different systems, such as the skeleton and internal organs. The app doesn’t requires any plug-ins, Flash, or Java. It runs right in any WebGL supported browser. It just requires a browser, such as the beta version of Chrome, with WebGL. It shows a 3D model of a female that can be rotated and zoomed in and out.

Once you’ve got a compatible browser, visit the Body Browser home page to see the human body. There you can adjust the various layers of skin, muscles, tissues, and the skeletal system. The app supports multitouch so users of trackpads or multi-touch mice can zoom in with ease. It proves to be a useful app for the healthcare industry, educators, and students.
