The Visible Human Explorer (VHE)

This is a prototype of an experimental user interface for browsing the National Library of Medicine's Visible Human data set, and demonstrates a general interface for volume exploration.

The interface allows users to browse a miniature Visible Human volume, locate images of interest, and automatically retrieve desired full resolution images over the internet from the NLM archive.

The prototype can also browse those images which have been previously downloaded to the local machine. The VHE is a working program, and can greatly assist you in browsing and retrieving remote and local Visible Human images.
