The minimum system requirements for the BioDigital Human platform vary by product. The products covered in this article are:
- BioDigital Human web app: A web-based publishing platform where you can access a library of 3D interactive anatomy and health condition models, customize them in Human Studio, and publish them to your site in the form of the Human Viewer.
- BioDigital Human iOS app: A downloadable mobile app that gives you access to our entire library of 3D interactive anatomy and health condition models, My Library, and interactive exploration tools on your iPhone or iPad.
- Human Viewer: A published application that enables 3D interactive models from the BioDigital Human to be embedded into a website or application. The Human Viewer can be embedded into web-based environments via an iframe or into native iOS and Android apps via our mobile SDKs (contact us for details). The Human Viewer is fully responsive to desktop and mobile screen sizes as well as touch interfaces.
