The BioDigital Human is a cloud-based platform built to deliver detailed, interactive 3D visualizations of human anatomy and health conditions to any modern browser. With a rendering engine built in WebGL, the BioDigital Human can target the Web's enormous user base, but that comes at the cost of navigating performance inconsistencies and limitations across a wide range of platforms and devices. This talk will discuss the many considerations involved in optimizing the BioDigital Human, including download times for 3D content, CPU load, memory management, 3D rendering performance and mobile support.
