What happened when we put Visible Body on the web for free?
The first version of Visible Body’s Human Anatomy Atlas was an Internet Explorer-only female model with about two thousand anatomical structures.
In a few months, over a million people signed up to try it out.
Healthcare professionals started using our content to communicate with patients. Professors began using the 3D anatomy models in their lectures and labs. Even students signed up to dissect and study the models; they wondered in comments to us and in newsgroups (remember those?) how to incorporate online anatomy visuals into the work they did outside of class and anatomy lab.
Okay, maybe it wasn't that surprising. Give people free tools and they will use them.
Visible Body had spent years creating highly accurate anatomy teaching videos for pharmaceutical and medical device companies, but by putting our models out on the web, we found a new audience: everyone else. Students, professors, doctors, healthcare professionals, and even just regular people—all who wanted to better understand how the body works. It was then that we realized we had a job to do: bring 3D anatomy to the world.
