Here is the Smithsonian x3D Explorer, an interactive 3D educational tool accessible to anyone via the web.

With release, Autodesk focuses on the Smithsonian to democratize access to prized specimens and to bring their stories to life.

This means, public can henceforth experience priceless objects digitized by the Smithsonian x3DExplorer.

According to Autodesk, 3D technology is beginning to revolutionize museums in the same way it has revolutionized entertainment, manufacturing, and architecture, and the

Smithsonian aims to be at the forefront of this transformation.

 “Working with Autodesk we can now share our collections with more people than we could ever reach before. It is our hope that the Smithsonian x3D Explorer will enhance education and research in ways we haven’t even imagined.” said Gunter Waibel, head of the Smithsonian Digitization Program Office.
