Migaloo, an endangered white humpback whale sacred to the people of Minjerribah off the coast of Queensland, Australia, was interpreted by artist Delvene Cockatoo-Collins. Yahoo/RYOT converted her art into a 3D model that can be placed in space anywhere to help share the whale's story worldwide.

Ahead of the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Yahoo News spoke with survivors and children of parents who died that day about what they have preserved to remember those who were lost, and asked them to photograph the objects. Yahoo’s immersive storytelling team used photogrammetry to convert photos into 3D models and paired them with interview audio.
