This feels like a nothingburger. There isn't even a hint of how the virtual human works or a demo or anything. Just lots of back patting about the clever name.


You may want to check out the Wikipedia article. Seems like a fascinating and valuable project.

The visible human project has been around for quite some time and has, in fact, accomplished their initial project goals. And they do have a demo application, complete with a "guided tour", interview snippets and everything, all on a single CD-ROM! I remember playing around with it at the local library in December 2003.
