British Library – 3D Rare Books Experience as an XBAP

As Tim Sneath announced earlier in his blog today, the British Library has released a just awesome XBAP

I’ve been giddy about this app since I saw the first prototype.  Here’s an example of technology really opening doors and offering new experiences.  The public can see these Da Vinci’s notebooks, Mozart’s compositions, and many other (usually locked up) rare books in a fuller fidelity, richer environment than ever before.

Tim goes in to all the specific coolness of the app in his post.  I definitely recommend the read.
