[ Google Labs just released a new "experiment" - Body Browser. You have to upgrade to Google Chrome beta if you don't already have it, but when you do, you can play with a 3-D, rotatable reconstruction of a (female) human body. Sliders let you fade the circulatory, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems in and out over the body organs; you can toggle labels on and off, and you can zoom, spin, and rotate in a way that would only be cooler if it were on a touchscreen iPad. ...]

Installing this browser takes about 5-10 minutes on your computer -- but if you do, and then select the brain icon, you can see some quite interesting interactive graphics.

3-d markup has been arround since the 90s. Call VRML. But never took off. Now google is making browser specific content. Boo to google.

I would like to see this content. But the google eula is so broad in googles rights to track you. I'm afraid chrome will track me every time I boot up my 'puter.

At the rate Chrome is gaining market share. I may be forced to use chrome to view 3D content.

Nice post. But I think people need to know how bad google is about tracking you before they install Chrome.
