C. Sven Johnson’s Honors:

"It turns out that the increasing detail of 3D objects in virtual environments makes it possible to think of them not simply as game objects, but as digital prototypes -- and 3D printers are the tool of choice for turning the prototypes into real objects. WorldChanging ally C. Sven Johnson is at the forefront of this movement." - J. Cascio, Senior Contributing Editor, WorldChanging.com; Feb 2006

"deepest thinker of 3D virtual/meatspace stuff so far" - M. Frumin, Technical Director, Eyebeam R&D OpenLab; Jan 2006

"one of the best and brightest out there" - Jerry Paffendorf, Futurist, Electric Sheep Company; August 2006
