3D TECH STACK CUBES
// EXPERIMENT OVERVIEW

What Was Built & Explored

The 3D Tech Stack Cubes experiment demonstrates tactile physical interfaces on the web. Rather than static icon grids, developer tools and frameworks are rendered as floating 3D polyhedra with rotational inertia, collision bounce, and glowing emissive materials.

// CORE CAPABILITIES

Technical Systems

Orbital Impulse PhysicsMouse drag and swipe gestures apply rotational torque and spring forces to the 3D cube array with authentic momentum decay.
Custom Shader NormalsSubtle surface bevels, edge glows, and roughness textures enhance tactile clarity under dynamic directional lighting.
Zero-Overhead CompositingCanvas rendering pauses when offscreen and executes on dedicated GPU threads to maintain zero lag on main UI threads.
