Hands-on
Three-Body Ink 3D
Three glowing orbs on a real three-body orbit stir a volume of glowing ink; left alone, the orbit turns chaotic, one escapes, the other two spiral together and a new figure-eight begins.
Put a finger on an orb to grab it and let go while moving to throw it into a new orbit; drag empty space to turn the view and pinch to zoom.
- The idea
- Real Newtonian gravity: three equal masses starting on the famous figure-eight orbit, with a small nudge that lets chaos in. The ink is a vortex flow shed by the orbs, not a fluid simulation of real ink.
- With music
- Subtle on purpose: kicks make one orb surge with a shock shell, bass feeds another orb's ink, vocals make the third glow; mid onsets add streamers. Tap Demo beat for our own beat, or Your music to let it hear the room.
- How it runs
- It’s the same live simulation as in the Everdust apps, running in your browser on WebGL 2. If your device struggles, it lowers the detail a step at a time to keep the motion smooth.
This is just a taste
