Google Body Labs for Exercise Science

See update to Google Body Labs here.

Ever visited the Google search home page and taken some time to explore the additional links? Well if you have - then you will already know about some of the great resources posted there - free for anyone to use.

Google Labs is one of my favorite links. The Labs are meant to be a place where developers, engineers and members of the Google community can post prototypes of new ideas so that users can try them out, experiment, and provide feedback. Why should you care?

Well, there are some really useful resources listed here - including one lab called Google Body labs. Google Body is an excellent study tool for students - they can look at detailed 3D models of the human body and peel back layers and zoom in for a closer look. In addition, all body parts are clearly labeled and therefore great for student review.

Here's how to find it:
  1. Within your browser, search for "Google."
  2. Click on the link for "More" at the top left-hand menu
  3. Select "Even More" from the drop-down menu
  4. Select "Labs"
  5. Select "Google Body"

You may need to upgrade your Internet Browser to the Beta version of Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox to be able to view the Google Body Lab. You can email the link out to your students and they can use the tool for study review.
