      Nice project, but I&#x27;m wondering why? Are you studding medicine or just curiosity?

        Not at all, im an engineer, or I finish my final year of my masters in AI and Machine learning in like 8 months. This is actually a bit out of my scope even when it comes to engineering, working with three.js haha.

        I just wanted to make something new, I have a similar project on my github called pc anatomy that blew up, basically dissecting an entire computer to the smallest cuda core.

        I got to many messages from teachers wanting to use it to teacher their students, and the thought of something like that actually being useful got me excited. So I decided to make another open source but this time for students in the medical field, I felt like doing the entire anatomy of the body is too ambitious to start so I decided to start with the oral field.

        I hope that answers your question, it all just kinda boils down to me wanting to help people and make something free and open-source, sort of to start a community around it.
