Description:	Twelve interactive online geometry programs: WebPisces (compute implicitly defined curves in the plane); Build a Rainbow (a lab that examines a mathematical model of light passing through a water droplet); QuasiTiler (generate Penrose tilings or design your own nonperiodic tilings of the plane); Kali and Kali-Jot (an interactive editor for symmetric patterns of the plane); Cyberview-X (an interactive 3D viewer); Projective Conics (Pascal's theorem in terms of projective geometry: specify points on a conic and see how the theorem applies to them); Orbifold Pinball (explore the effects of negatively curved space); Teichmuller Navigator (explore the space of all different angle geometries on a genus two surface); Integrator (experiment with numerical integration of data sets); Unifweb (families of Riemann surfaces), and Lafite (work with any discrete symmetry group of the hyperbolic plane).
