The Creator’s Project
o “So much of how we understand ourselves and communicate with each other is behind glass -- you can't touch it," Jamie Zigelbaum, co-creator of an interactive piece titled Six-Forty By Four-Eighty told Wired. "We hope that by using our exhibit, you start to think a little differently about what computing and electronics can be.”

3-D Tissue Samples3-D Tissue Sampleso "Having a 3D view can
often make a real difference," Derek Magee, who developed the software behind the system, said in a university news release. "For instance, if you want to understand how a system of blood vessels supplying a tumor connects up, you really need to see that in 3D, not as a series of separate 2D sections."
