      That's great. It reminds me of Elsevier's full-body anatomy tool which is very cool but requires a license of like $60 dollars per year (probably targeted at doctors and medical students). I hope someone can replicate the essence of it and make such a tool available for free.

      This could be a part of Wikipedia.

         That is very close to what I would like this project to become over time. There are some excellent anatomy tools out there, but many are behind subscriptions or institutional licenses.

         My goal with Dental Scope is to see how far an open source version can go, especially if dentists, students, developers and 3D artists start contributing to it. Full body anatomy would obviously be a much larger undertaking, but I would love for the project to gradually expand in that direction.

         The Wikipedia comparison is probably much more ambitious than where the project is today, but the idea of a freely accessible educational resource is what makes me do this.

         Why is Zeruxe's sibling comment dead?

               This is what it looks like in my browser:

               note your comment at the bottom of that image

                  I have no idea what that means

                  1. amelius · 1790773266 · focus · HN ↗

                     Whatever it means, don&#x27;t let it discourage you in any way.

               Open in incognito to see which comments disappear.

            Weird indeed. Several comments of his are dead.

            Zeruxe: in case you are unfamiliar, this means most people can’t see them, only those who are logged in and have showdead enabled.

            Probably one of the automatic spam detector in HN, sometimes they have false positives. Try vouching the comments if they are good. (If that doesn&#x27;t work after a while, you also can send and email to hn@ycombinator.com so dang&#x2F;tomhow can take a look.)

            1. Zeruxe · 1790775666 · focus · HN ↗

               Okay I will try to, thank you and please do the same if you don&#x27;t mind.
