The form was getting spammed so I've taken it offline, please DM me if you wish to participate in this research project! 🙏
If you represent a 3D data repository or interactive display platform platform, I'd love to hear from you! Please complete this short survey 👉 forms.gle/1RsU35P1SjJj...

Here's my list so far: who am I missing? Who have I forgotten?

Hi David - this is so nice to hear :) My gf (now wife!) and I made this together all those years ago...

I still have the files locally somewhere but had to simplify my web pages and take some things offline I'm afraid. Not sure when I'll have the time/opp to upload it somewhere again.
