MatLab Demonstration:
My favorite demonstration was the "Viewing a Penny" one, which showcased techniques to visualize the structure of a penny. Basically, a 3-D copper colored surface plot was produced using the Laplacian lighting model, and this one particularly appealed to me because my professor showed a similar technique in my Math 212 (Multivariable) class. He demonstrated how a black and white picture can be created in a 3-D graph by assigning the value of the z-coordinate to a specific brightness, and as a result each point would be a different shade.
