Will all Museums have virtual exhibits in the future? If students have access to these virtual exhibits with super detail, up close, and with virtual tool access, how will this change education? How will it change all fields from medicine to archeology? I have been telling my students for years that what ever your future career they end up in, 3D will be somehow be involved particularly in the STEM career paths. Check out these videos on the Smithsonian’s X3d Project. Super Cool! ~Cornell

3D Scanning at the Smithsonian
What can you do to bring some of the Smithsonian's 137 million objects to life? Put them in 3D!
This is a full-time job for two of the Smithsonian's very own "laser cowboys," Vince Rossi and Adam Metallo, who work in the Smithsonian's 3D Digitization Program Office. They work hard to document, in very high three-dimensional detail, many of our priceless and important collections so that the objects are available for research, education and general interest.
