| Description: |
This game challenges you to identify a three-dimensional object based only on its intersections with a plane. The height of this plane can be changed using a slider control. This simulation of a computerized tomography scanner makes it fun to study cross-sections of 3D shapes. |

| Comment: | Excellent resource that demonstrates how different 3-D figures can appear depending on how they have been rotated before entering/intersecting the plane! I will use this as a precursor to Flatland: The Movie - thanks! |
