The website includes information about the use of three-dimensional technology to document iconic collection objects and scientific missions as well as the use of three-dimensional models in the classroom and the 2013 Smithsonian X 3D conference. This accession does not include models or tours and, due to technical difficulties, some video may not function properly. Materials are in electronic format.
