    I hadn't heard of Looking Glass before but it seems really cool! And you've made a fantastic piece for it! I'm definitely inspired to buy a Looking Glass frame and think up something of mine now. 🙂

      It's a marvelous piece of early adopter hardware. My friend who has also seen one had a similar impression as mine: lots of VR / 3D tech under-delivers, but seeing this display in person, I believe the tech will play a role in future human computer interaction and art. It's legit.

      Not to mention that for folks already in 3D fields like animation, CAD, and medical, holy shit what an advance!

    This is also going to be a great reference for me as I've requested some MRI data recently and I've got pretty much no idea how I'll use it when I get it.

      Slicer is an amazing tool for exploring the data. When I first got access to my files I spent hours playing around with Slicer on a Discord stream with a friend. We pretended I was playing a video game, and every time I got lost in Slicer and needed to restart to reset things I "died" in the game. Each function in that app is scattered across multiple panels and expandos. It can be real fun to learn when treated as an escape game.

      I'd you get stuck, I'd be happy to whip up a screen cast of how to get it... doing its namesake, slicing. 😁
