Comments on: Virtual Autopsy Table http://blog.pedrocustodio.com/2009/11/22/virtual-autopsy-table/ I know that I was born, and I know that I'll die. But the in between is mine ...

On the same hand, remember how architects and designers used to work not long ago, their desks weren't horizontal or vertical as this first prototypes suggest, but rather in between and adaptable so that your working area is actually still in your front but in a more ergonomic position, right? In any case, I can see ourselves develop way more parts of arms than just the wrists ;) True, Pedro,

That is not a very comfortable position. I have yet to find a demo of a touch-based system that is comfortable to use for long periods of time. the problem I find with this type of solution is the user position.
