What's in the app? – Visible Body

Human Anatomy Atlas is now Visible Body Suite. Learn more here. This support article is provided to assist legacy customers.

Human Anatomy Atlas includes comprehensive male and female 3D gross anatomy models, select microanatomy of tissues and organs, cadaver slices and diagnostic images that are paired with 3D cross sections, and interactive animations of muscles and bones.

This two-minute video is a great overview of everything that's new for Atlas 2021:

For a more in-depth presentation into how Atlas 2021 is different from Atlas 2020, watch this hour-long webinar to learn all of the tips and tricks:

Accessibility and preference options

Here you can learn how to change your preferences and how to make Human Anatomy Atlas 2021 more accessible.

Human Anatomy Atlas offers many different accessibility and preference options. These are in the settings menu at the bottom right of any screen.

1. Background
Choose from black, white or grey backgrounds to adjust for your lighting conditions.

2. Male/female model
Atlas features complete female and male anatomy models. This setting toggles between them.

3. Show Gestures (mobile only)
This feature highlights user input with a blue circle.

4. Closed captioning
This feature will turn on subtitles that match the audio. Subtitles are turned on by default in languages other than English.

5. 60 FPS (iPhone and iPad only)
The app comes by default set to 30 frames per second to save battery for mobile users. For users with sensitivity to fast or jerky movements, this setting can be adjusted to FPS 60 and the models will appear to move more smoothly.

6. Font size
Change the font size to make text in appear larger or smaller.

7. Language
Human Anatomy Atlas supports seven different languages: English, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish.

8. On start-up
This setting lets you jump right back to where you were in the app, or get a fresh start. There's also a third option to ask which one you want to do every time you open the app.

9. Blank Tags
This setting removes the text from the tags feature. This allows users to create worksheets and self-study cards by tagging multiple structures with blank tags, and later filling in the blanks themselves.

10. High quality (web only)
Turn this on for the best versions of the 3D models, or turn it off to save some memory and loading time.
