Vol Libre "First Fractal Geometry"

I just came across this video by (Pixar's Chief Scientist) Loren Carpenter, who describes his work as follows:

"I made this film in 1979-80 to accompany a SIGGRAPH paper on how to synthesize fractal geometry with a computer. It is the world's first fractal movie. It utilizes 8-10 different fractal generating algorithms. I used an antialiased version of this software to create the fractal planet in the Genesis Sequence of Star Trek 2, the Wrath of Khan. These frames were computed on a VAX-11/780 at about 20-40 minutes each."

I was not even born at that time. There is a primitive teapot in the scene, may be the beginning of it as well. Click the image above to watch the video...

Medical students and heart specialists can study and investigate the heart functioning during normal conditions and simulating altered beats common in typical diseases. The user interface allows 3D interaction with the virtual human organ during the simulation with the capability of cutting through it to see what is happening in the interior.

It seems to be an actual 3D volumetric model of a functioning heart which reproduce every component of this vital engine of life.
