Concepts for labeling in 3d #16

If you think of software like Blender it becomes clear, that editing a 3d volume is a very difficult task, which requires versatile tools. But which functional, that we can provide, would be most useful for labeling tasks in biology?

FWIW, I've been finding that it is more important to view user's actions/effects in 3D than it is to actually label/place objects via a 3D interface. In other words, I'm shipping tools where the user's actions are performed in 2D but displayed in 3D, and that works much better than the actions being performed in 3D. An important exception to this is VR. Ask Ulrik for the story about why the most useful VR tool is still a keyboard.
