Virtual human built from more than 5000 slices of a real woman

I remember as a kid going through a museum in Chicago and they had a display of 1&#x2F;4&quot; thick sliced bodies set in door sized glass plates. They were mounted so you could swing them like shopping for a poster at Target.<p>The part that struck me was that they were displayed on a large wall along a stair landing between floors. It was just so out of context and kind of sad. They donate their body to science and end up as a transitional space filler.

Visualization of this data from almost 20 years ago - I used it as example data for my PhD thesis:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;mepalmer.net&#x2F;ibb&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;mepalmer.net&#x2F;ibb&#x2F;</a><p>The views are all pre-rendered. Sorry for the old school site, circa 1996!

Should also check out what&#x27;s possible with VR tech for visualizations nowadays <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;MWGBRsV9omw" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;MWGBRsV9omw</a>

For my bachelor thesis I did a Volume Rendering visualization of this dataset. You can have a look at it here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vimeo.com&#x2F;12199932" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vimeo.com&#x2F;12199932</a>. Caching 16GB of data in the GPU.

Has nobody noticed that the URL awkwardly skips to a footnote (&#x2F;#bx304040B1)?

No access, no fun.

Did it included some fava beans and a nice chianti?<p>On a more serious note, I wonder how they actually cut these bodies? A band saw maybe?

Just saying that this is the creepiest goddamned title for an article I&#x27;ve ever read.

This totally ruined my coffee break.

So it&#x27;s Docker For People
