That's something we used to use in business presentations, it's called a three-square slide projector. By showing nine slides in combination, you got a look at your product in the seventh dimension.

Should be working now.

Something went kablooie yesterday with the table that remembers which modules are actually installed. Unfortunately, the only fix I've found is to uninstall modules (such as the one that allows for image embedding), then reinstall them, which I just did with that one.
