Our January #StaffPick #3D model is a pair of sneakers worn by Julius “Dr. J” Erving. Not only do they provide a peek at his autograph, but you can view them in augmented reality and see how your own feet stack up to the legend! Check them out: https://t.co/BOf1LCI0eL

#DYK that the @Smithsonian has 3000 #3D digitized collection objects available to download? And over 90% of them have a #CC0 #OpenAccess license, so they can be used for almost anything. Add an aircraft to your game project or #3Dprint an ancient vessel! https://t.co/q82P1ExZ5k

You can also explore a digitized model of this hard hat in 3D at:
#OTD in 2001, the lives of nearly 3,000 individuals were taken when 4 commercial airliners were hijacked and used as terrorist weapons. In the days after the September 11th attack, the destroyed site of the World Trade Center buildings became known as 'Ground Zero.'

You can also explore this specimen online! 🪸 https://t.co/MTr9UF9fUL
@FishOceansCAN @smithsonian @nmn @InvertebratesDC Long before it was 3D scanned, this Primnoa resedaeformis specimen was collected off the coast of Nova Scotia in the late 1800s! This slow-growing, long-lived cold-water coral is found in both sides of the Atlantic and is an indicator of vulnerable marine ecosystems.

Video alt text: As a red dot moves across a 3D model of a baseball, a flat tone increases and decreases in frequency based on how close the surface under the red dot is to the viewer.

In this application we are using sound to convey the depth of the surface of a #3D model under the user's pointer. Moving this pointer across the object results in a change of sound rate or pitch that also conveys the shape of the object along that path. #accessibility

We've added support for keyboard controls, captioned audio, and multi-lingual experiences. Check out our recent experiment using Sonification: https://t.co/XIvxcJwchP "Sonification is the use of non-speech audio to convey information or perceptualize data." (cit. Wikipedia)
