Next.js & WebGL / Three.js
Built on Next.js App Router for optimal SSR/SSG search indexability combined with custom Three.js and Canvas WebGL rendering pipelines operating at smooth 60fps frame rates.
PROJECT AETHERIS // ARCHITECTURE & MISSION
About AETHERIS: Mission & Tech
AETHERIS is a cyber-brutalist interactive web observatory combining cutting-edge WebGL, real-time physics, and open astronomical telemetry.
1. Project Mission & Vision
Astrophysical concepts and equations often feel abstract when confined to textbooks. AETHERIS aims to transform these principles into vivid, hands-on experiences. Through interactive 2D/3D physics simulations and a high-contrast Cyber-Brutalist UI, users explore light-speed propagation, orbital gravity, and cosmic scales directly in their browsers.
From calculating where the photon wavefront emitted on your birth date is traveling today ('Cosmic Light Mirror') to testing planetary defense strategies against incoming asteroids based on NASA's DART mission ('Orbit Sandbox'), AETHERIS offers a rich suite of educational physics modules.
2. Core Technologies & Engine Architecture
N-Body Gravity Integration
Orbit simulations implement numerical integration solvers (Runge-Kutta) for mutual gravitational force vectors ($F = G m_1 m_2 / r^2$), capturing chaotic N-body trajectories accurately.
Procedural Web Audio API
Audio signals are procedurally synthesized in real-time via native Web Audio API oscillators and filter nodes, generating realistic carrier tones and interstellar noise floors.
Open Astronomical Data
All celestial object specifications, spectral classifications, and imagery utilize authentic public domain catalogs from NASA, STScI (JWST/Hubble), and ESA.
