This is a computer model of the human body displayed at University of Calgary.
Canadian scientists have created the world’s first virtual computer model of a human body, translating a litany of complex medical and genomic data into images to test drugs and surgeons’ skills.

The virtual man with his skin and skeleton removed to display every vein, artery and organ, floating in a small, dark room with more than 3,000 body parts projected from walls and the floor, was unveiled at the University of Calgary this week.

Known as CAVEman, he is anatomically perfect and ready to be manipulated at the click of a button on a computer.
