GYROGRAPH
Gyrograph is an experimental web app that explores computational design in a frontend framework, utilizing the recently released Rhino3dm.js and existing three.js libraries. Part art project, part video game, part digital “toy”, Gyrograph allows users to build drawing machines from a playful kit of parts that includes connector “tubes”, “motors” that rotate other parts, and “nibs” that trace lines of varying colors and widths. Once built, the machine can be “run” and will trace out complicated 3D patterns.
The project will be considered a success when my 9 year old nephew says it’s cooler than Minecraft. The stakes are high.
