[Nfb-science] Hi all! [+ Model of Mount Everest]

[Cheryl Fogle-Hatch]

Hi Kendra.

You could also do a search for models on sketchfab.com once you find a
3-D model, you can reach out to your local colleges or hobbyist
groups.  Last year sometime, there was a podcast on Blind Abilities on
this topic.  You could check their archives for the information.  I
hope this helps.
