Visible Body

By Alma Row

Visible Body is a fantastic tool for exploring the human body in 3D. Created for medical students, the site is also a useful tool for K-12 students. Visible Body allows users to explore the human body by adding various layers of information. Using the navigation wheel at the top of the screen, users can move around and see the body from all different angles and ranges, hide or see through parts of the body, and search to find specific parts of the body. It’s a GPS for the human body.
