After several months of on and off tinkering, I finally managed to pack up and ship my latest personal indie project. I present to you, The Solar Journey.
It’s an interactive 3D, web app which allows you to explore and learn about the solar system in a rich and exciting way.
Built in Html/css and Javascript then rending to WebGL via the threeJS library, it is fully cross platform and responsive and compatible with desktops, tablets and phones.
CSS was used to layout the UI which sits above the webGL layer. This was a much better approach than putting the webGL layer as a texture, by keeping it seperate, it remains completely dynamic, responsive, and renders pixel perfect.
The WebAudio API was used to deliver cross platform sound which really helps to set the theme of the experience.
