Re: Wikipedia enhanced with Augmented 3D models
#2Bringing 3D to the Web and over reality would bring a new way to discover the world around us in a fun and more natural way. You + Sketchfab (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4717569) would be amazing.

oh yeah, looks promising ;)

We will !

#6Something interesting, while not directly related to this topic, would be interactive mathematical widgets on wikipedia. There are a bunch of old java applets floating around for this kind of thing, and they really helped me understand concepts like 3D graphics. It would be nice if wikipedia had those.

I still don't really understand to process to get new stuff in wikipedia, it seems really complicated to change something there. I guess when you have so many content you need to have some inertia but still.

Totally with you - especially because Wikipedia's math pages go from zero to high math pretty fast, and even something simple like this would make these subjects more accessible - even intuitive.
There are enough web-based animation stuff to make this trivial - I wonder why no one is doing this kind of thing? There are these REALLY old pages with Java applets or even JS craziness from the 90's going on - but we have tools to make this sooooo much better.
We need an online science museum methinks.

#9Although the Augmented Reality part of the 3D models may be fun or interesting, its not particularly useful and may be annoying if you use it often (where did I put that marker paper again?). Seems like a direct interaction with the 3D model with your device would be more useful (they might want to at least provide that option). You lost me at print this first.

The printing part is a problem that will resolve by itself when the technology evolve. But yeah, right now it's the main point of friction. Even if you can display the marker on your screen and look at it through your tablet. Or display it on your tablet and look at it through your phone.
