Google never stops to amaze me. Today I found out about the recent Google Labs project Body Browser that allows to explore the human body right in your browser using the latest Web technologies.
This project relies on WebGL so you need a modern web browser (read: any popular web browser other than IE). You can check if your browser supports WebGL here. Although the Body Browser details page says that you need a beta version of Google Chrome, it is not really so. You can use the current stable release. It seems that the versions of Chrome are released so often that even Google guys can’t keep up.
So I used Google Chrome version 8.0.552 which is the current stable release. WebGL is disabled by default in this version but it can be easily enabled from the browser by visiting the about:flags page and clicking the Enable link under WebGL:
Then you will need to restart the browser and yay (that’s what that WebGL check page gives you now =). You are ready to visit the Body Browser and enjoy the beauty of the human body:
