Transtopian Prototyping Index

Track 1 TOPOLOGY

The convergence point: a fluid, animated transition bridging two visual models (from Track 0.3 and 0.4) into a unified synchronic ↔ diachronic experience. Static forms with animated smoothstep transition on 36 anchor positions.

Currently the core showcase version is 1.1.

History

1.0 morph
The simplest viable starting point: two static forms with an animated transition bridging two visual models.

Track 0.1 WEB

Static early attempts at information architecture — testing how content is structured across 3 navigation levels with hover/click interaction between phases and planets. Still close to an interactive chart; lacks immersive and embodied quality.

Currently the core showcase version is 0.1.1.

History

0.1.0 logic
The foundational blueprint testing how information and layers are structured.

Track 0.2 2D

2D dynamic interaction exploration — adding rotation dynamics to the macro view. Connecting lines between planets across stars create emergent visual patterns. Gear-like meshing and alternating rotation directions introduce dynamic complexity.

Currently the core showcase version is 0.2.3.

History

Track 0.3 3D

3D dynamic interaction exploration — free-form 3D viewing with physics-driven connecting threads. Synthesis of freeview camera, d3-force line routing, and emotional entry point. Full 360° freedom on all three axes.

Currently the core showcase version is 0.3.5.

History

Track 0.4 POLAR

Magnetic field loop model — planets as magnetic dipole field line loops with two-level interactive navigation. Scrolling interaction moves the planet along its orbit and bends time. Emergent mechanic: implicit time manipulation through embodied action.

Currently the core showcase version is 0.4.4.

History

Track 0.5 SPIRAL

Spiral descent narrative — guided linear storytelling built on inverted 3D spiral geometry. The complete multi-layered 6-cycle journey with autoplay. Camera descends through cycles; text auto-reveals after each rupture animation.

Currently the core showcase version is 0.5.4.

History

Track 0.6 FLOCK

Game-like flocking simulation — a gamified boids experience designed to carry no written language. Player controls one creature in a flock; the six-phase cycle is experienced through rule variation rather than diagrammatically. Can you feel what it means to be part of the swarm?

Currently the core showcase version is 0.6.0.
