This is fantastic.

I've been trying to build something myself for biological and heritage captures. Could you elaborate at all on the JS decoder method used or resources that ended up enabling you to make it?

I've been playing with Playcanvas React for the past week, would your method integrate with their platform?

As a child of the 90s, I see this as one of those rare, genuine examples of the “museum in cyberspace” imagined by the futurists of the day. Thank you for keeping the dream alive!

Decades ago a radio technician friend of mine took me up the elevator in the west leg to the top platform, to enjoy the fantastic view of the city. As the caption at the base of the west leg elevator entrance says, it was quite small and cramped indeed, and it definitely was disconcerting when it changed orientation passing through the waist of the tower!
