Virtual Autopsy On a Multi-Touch Table Surface

Posted by Soulskill on from the over-my-dead-body dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Engadget points out one of the more interesting ways to use a multitouch table surface so far. Researchers at Norrkoping Visualization Centre and the Center for Medical Image Science and Visualization in Sweden have fitted such a device with stunning, volume-rendered visualizations of high-resolution MRI data. If you've ever wondered what the inside of a human being really looks like, but lacked the grit or credentials to watch an autopsy in the flesh, check it out."

    I think I've played this before, it's called operation! I was never very good at it. I always preferred to play doctor instead.
