Abstract
BioDigital and others are mapping the human body such that it can be explored in 3D by everyone from patients needing help visualising their conditions to experienced surgeons keeping abreast of advances in their fields. For instance, an interactive 3D model of the human head and neck built by scientists at the Glasgow School of Simulation and Visualisation using anatomical dissections and expert input is being used to train dental students to apply local anaesthetics. These models promise a more immersive and accessible learning experience than most physical models.In 1993, the International Union of Physiological Sciences Council meeting in Glasgow discussed the possibility of creating quantitative models to describe human physiology. This meeting set forth the `Physiome' project and later the Virtual Physiological Human Institute (VPHi), which supports research and development into digital physiological simulations. Heart models are the main ones created.
