Oddly enough, I've seen a similar injury on a dolphin before. Well, the head was missing, but the cutoff point could be described as "corkscrew". None of us had a good idea of the …

Fair point, my (and many people's) point of view is very virtual instrument centric. I'd still say that better impulses would improve the tool for the potential luthier application…

They are not shy about publishing LRO data. It looks like this (one for each LRO camera, narrow angle then wide angle): https://data.lroc.im-ldi.com/lroc/view_lroc/LRO-L-LROC-2-EDR…

The parts where it exits fullscreen and starts messing around with separate windows is really well done. In a way it's playing with the limits of what defines a demo (ie. the user'…

Though since we can't really see 3D, we could never have that "one circle zooms in" effect. Well, the 3D structure just needs to be sufficiently "holey" for the effect to become ap…
