A three-dimensional model of a bronze cast of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter's hands set against a still image of his handprints pressed into cement and signed with his name, allowing for comparison between the 3D version of the hands and their static prints. Three annotations have been added to the model, which the viewer can click on to provide additional information. The model can be rotated, moved, and zoomed in and out to allow for viewing of additional details at multiple angles.
