Developer builds webcam anatomy X-ray mirror with Claude Fable 5.2
A Reddit developer says Claude Fable 5.2 generated the code for a single-file webcam X-ray mirror that overlays a skull, brain, facial muscles, eyes, and hand bones on tracked body movement. MediaPipe handles face and hand tracking in the browser, while three.js renders the adjustable 3D anatomy models, with video processed locally. The developer says the project uses one adult's BodyParts3D dataset rather than a personal scan and is not a medical tool.
The self-reported project is a concrete demonstration of Claude Fable 5.2 producing and iteratively refining a working browser-based 3D application, though its implementation remains unverified beyond the creator's account.
| I built a web page that works like an X-ray mirror. You point a webcam at your face and see a skull, brain and facial muscles pinned to your head and following it as you move. The jaw opens when you open your mouth, and if you hold up a hand you see its bones follow your fingers. What it does Why I built it I wanted to test two things: whether a webcam and a browser are enough to make anatomy something you can explore on your own body, for educational use, and how far the Fable 5.2 model’s capabilities go on a project with real 3D data and live tracking. How Claude helped I built it with Claude Fable 5.2 in one chat. I described what I wanted and Claude wrote all the code. It also found an open anatomy dataset (BodyParts3D), simplified the 3D models, and aligned them to the face tracker’s reference face so the skull sits in the right place. I tested each version on my own webcam and asked for changes: manual fit sliders, labels and edge feathering all came from follow-up requests. The first working version took under an hour. How it works It’s a single HTML file. MediaPipe does the face and hand tracking in the browser and three.js draws the 3D. The video is processed on your own computer and never uploaded. Free to try It’s free, with no account. You can download the tool here and try it on your browser. One caveat: the anatomy is a real dataset of one adult scaled to your head, so it shows where things typically sit. It isn’t a scan of you and it isn’t a medical tool.
