TED: On the virtual dissection table | Jack Choi

The video introduces the anatomized table, a virtual dissection tool developed with Doctor Brown at Stanford. It allows students to experience dissection without a human cadaver, offering a touch-interactive, life-sized digital body. The video demonstrates various features, including cutting and viewing internal organs, reverse dissection, and X-ray visualization. The anatomized table also allows for gender transformation, providing a comprehensive learning experience in human anatomy.
