Body apart

This is the motion study for the halosome.com story. One number runs it, from act one to act four, and it plays on its own until you drag.

1. Act one, whole. Her body, drawn in light, stands inside a full-body halo.
2. Act two, apart. The halo breaks, and her body comes apart into the parts that medicine studies one at a time. Each part takes the name of the specialty that owns it.
3. Act three, whole again. The parts come back. Threads of light run from her heart to her crown, hands, and feet, which are the five points of the mark, and the halo closes.
4. Act four, one becomes two. A second, smaller light grows low in her body, with its own small halo, and the outer halo widens to hold them both.

The halo is a circle, and its shape follows the screen. On a wide screen, it is the whole circle, through her crown and both feet. On a tall screen, like a phone, it is a part circle through her crown and both hands, open below her hands, so she stays large. The Ring control can force either one, or the first oval, to compare.

Act two can take her apart three ways. The Version choice at the top picks one.

• Slices cuts her body into seven parts, each under the name of the specialty that studies it.
• Organs 1 lifts out fifteen organs, one at a time, each into its own frame under the names of the specialists who treat it. The frames stand in columns beside her: two each side on a wide screen, one on a tall screen. Her body stays where it is and fades, with gaps where her heart and hand were. It needs the Particles study.
• Organs 2 puts the same frames on a circle around her, each toward the side its organ came from. Her body stays whole in the middle, dimmed to a shadow, and copies of the organs go out to the circle, so only the organs are bright. The names always sit outside the circle: above the frames at the top, below them at the bottom, and out to the side at the sides. When she is whole again, the specialists stay on the circle, outside her halo, and a faint line joins each to the organ it cares for. It works in both studies.

In both organ versions, the drawn organs stay faintly inside her once she is whole again.

Her drawing shows only some organs: the heart, the hand, the lower leg, and the feet come from the art. The brain, eyes, mouth, lungs, backbone, stomach, kidneys, uterus, bladder, and knee are drawn in from the Lumen health glyphs. The art is a woman's body, so the urologist's organ is her bladder. The organs are measured on the Bun art only.

The lab builds the body two ways from one image. Layers cuts the image into seven parts and slides them apart. Particles draws the body as about 29,000 points that take their color from the image.

The Art control switches between three test images: long hair, a bun, and short hair. The long hair crosses the cut lines, so it rides away on the arms. The bun and the short hair stay above the shoulders. The lab opens on the bun. All three are generated test images, not licensed for launch.
