[Blindmath] A 3d to 2d description resource?

[Amanda Lacy]

Pranav,

I would very much enjoy it if this database existed. It could be a set of 
SVG files complete with text descriptions. After touching, reading about, 
and sonifying hundreds of examples, I imagine things would start to make 
sense.
