Silly experiment with Wikipedia + Sketchfab embeds :)

Volupedia

http://www.volupedia.org

Volupedia is an experiment mixing Wikipedia pages with 3D models from Sketchfab.

It is a reverse proxy of Wikipedia that replaces the main image of the article by a Sketchfab embed, if there is one that matches the title of the article.

Feedback & bugfixes welcome!
