After retiring from teaching in 2014, I migrated into interactive book production, using Apple’s iBooks Author. Making the graphics and movies for the book, I started concentrating on producing nice-looking images, pushing the limits of my computer saving or crashing. The Joint Mathematics Meetings in Atlanta was my first show as an artist. I actually had two pieces accepted but I didn’t scroll enough on the gallery site and only brought one canvas. I’ve included the other work here because I can.

view dansmath models on cardboard!
Now I have figured out how to allow you, the viewer, to view my 3D viewable models in a Google Cardboard viewer!
Here's an example, but the general idea is that if you stick "/embed?cardboard=1" (without the quotes) after the model URL you will get a stereo viewable image for your Google Cardboard-compatible viewer.
I have one that I put together for under $8 (half of which was shipping). The Vel-cro was stronger than the Cardboard's cardboard, and it tore but still works, and the images look awesome.
I have now ordered a View-Master VR Viewer, usually $29.99, I got one for $21 (post-Xmas discount) and it should arrive in a couple of days. I'll let you know how that goes.
dansmath 3D logo embedded here!
After 18 years on the web, the last 16 of them at dansmath.com, I have finally achieved a major goal: to create 3D math art in mathematica, and upload it to my site where anyone can view, appreciate it, spin it around, and say, "Now that's math!"
During this month I have been uploading several of my models to sketchfab.com, and just today I began embedding them here. Hope you like it/them!
Please feel free to follow me on Twitter, leave comments here or at my sketchfab page, and tell others about your experience! Happy mathing!
