What a fantastic way to get excited about science!

I read about this app in an article on ars technica and downloaded it immediately, then started exploring models. The details are stunning, and I had a great fun exploring different geological sites, rocks, quartz and even surfaces on the moon- right from where I was sitting. AR is super exciting! Can’t wait to see where else it leads.

Very useful and wonderfully done

Thank you for the incredibly hard work! This is an amazing application to help people who may not otherwise be capable of visiting sites to be “there”. Well done!!

Hopefully the modeling is published so others can contribute geologically interesting areas they study.

I can not wait to see where this technology takes Geology in the future.
