This is an experimental catalog of 3D image representations of scientific samples. Items within the collection document an individual sample such as a rock or mineral sample. Items use the open standard Binary glTF (GL Transmission Format; "GLB") for the 3D data along with a JSON scene file that is part of the Smithsonian's Voyager Explorer framework. These files are stored in the ScienceBase public cloud bucket to support the type of HTTP interaction needed by web-based browsing application.
