Visible Body for iPad 2
I just ran across an amazing app for the iPad 2. It's great tool for learning human anatomy that seems to me to be a big leap forward from the static images you find in anatomy and physiology textbooks. What makes the app a big leap forward is not only that you can interactively explore the body in ways not possible in print but also how fluidly you can do so. The interface is much better than any other app I've seen so far. The journey begins when you choose a thumbnail image representing the anatomical region of interest. Then you can rotate, tilt, pan and zoom the image. But there's more. You can also fade, hide, or highlight any combination of the structures shown. Here's another cool feature: You can search for anatomical features and then add them to the model you're viewing. Thus, the app provides extensive tools for customizing the images to your purpose, zeroing in on the structures and systems that you want to see without the distractions of unwanted details. Take a look.
