Spine Helper (for AI Segmentation)
The Spine Helper is a local companion app that runs AI segmentation:
| Component | Requirement |
|---|
| macOS | macOS 12+, ARM64 (Apple Silicon: M1/M2/M3/M4) |
| Windows | x64, Intel i7-10700 / AMD Ryzen 5 5600X or equivalent, Windows 10+ |
| RAM | 16 GB |
| GPU | Apple MPS (macOS, automatic). Windows runs on CPU only — CUDA support planned. |
| Disk | ~5 GB (macOS) / ~25 GB (Windows, includes page file) |
The main viewer runs entirely in the browser. Spine Helper is only needed for AI segmentation.
