During my stint at National Museums Scotland we managed to pilot 3D objects
for the Treasured exhibition: http://www.nms.ac.uk/emperorpenguin.aspx. We
used 3Dsom as well and exported in Flash.

We did a couple more with the same software here, too:

Hi Mark and all
The Museum of London did some virtual object handling using similar
methods a few years back and we're considering doing some more soon.
You can check it out here:
http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/learning/features_facts/voh/Voh_kit/ind
ex.htm. It used 3DSOM software.
I'd be interested in hearing how you get on with your project Mark, feel
free to contact me off list if you'd like to chat about it further.
Thanks
Rhiannon

Subject: 3-D images of museum objects
We are interested in showing fully rotatable objects on our website. The
most important application for me would be items such as baskets, where
basketmakers like to look at the techniques at a large number of points
on an object. I've sometimes being asked to take multiple photos to
capture this for basketmakers who cannot visit, but it is a poor
substitute for "handling" an object.
Our photographer has found the clever machines made by Virtuall:
www.fotorobot.cz
Is anyone aware of real life use of such a technique by a museum?
There does seem to be a limitation on vertical spinning; in other words,
one can rotate an object to see its sides, but tilting to see top and
bottom seems more problematic. The examples I've seen of fotorobot
images are also quite jerky to manouevre.
