Hoping folks at Sketchfab and all impacted are doing OK, all things considered...
Never a pleasant experience to go through but hopefully it's just the start of a new, positive chapter 🩵

My bad, Bob! The hour was up and Google Meet kicked us out.
Thank you so much for your time and contribution, it is a valuable set of data and next time I will plan extra time for discussion...
Your contributions will help shape a report on the needs, challenges, & opportunities experienced by heritage professionals related to online 3D data management, archiving, display, and dissemination - more info in the post quoted post 👆
39 survey responses so far! 💪🎉 Can you help me get to a nice round 50?
If you, a colleague or connection work with cultural heritage #3D data in the #UK please share or complete this survey: forms.gle/Wn7mtVM5ZnzU...

Text outlining the workshop agenda reads Review Emerging Themes We'll review the topics that are emerging from the UK Heritage 3D Data at Risk 1-1 Expert Interview and Survey results. Audience Identification Identifying and reviewing of existing and emerging audiences for cultural heritage 3D data and experiences. Identify Key Platform Views & Features We'll spend some time talking about user stories for users of a heritage 3D platform and create a list of 3-5 key platform views (i.e. web page profiles) that might best serve these stories. Visual Protoyping! We'll use simple 'wireframing' techniques to block out content and design for the most important platform views. No rules, no wrong answers!

Hi David - this is so nice to hear :) My gf (now wife!) and I made this together all those years ago...
I still have the files locally somewhere but had to simplify my web pages and take some things offline I'm afraid. Not sure when I'll have the time/opp to upload it somewhere again.
