Macintosh Classic 3D

An interactive 3D rendering of the iconic Macintosh Classic, built entirely from scratch using Canvas 2D with custom vector mathematics and perspective projection.

Technical Details

Custom 3D Engine

No Three.js or WebGL libraries. Pure mathematics: rotation matrices, perspective projection, and depth-based rendering—all implemented from scratch.

Interactive Physics

Drag to spin with momentum physics. Velocity tracking, friction decay, and continuous ambient rotation that layers naturally with user interaction.

Waveform Visualization

The screen displays an animated waveform that cycles through sine, triangle, sawtooth, and square waves—a nod to audio synthesis and sound design.

Accessibility

Respects prefers-reduced-motion. Animations pause when the tab is hidden to conserve resources.

Debug Console

Open your browser's developer console and type macDebug.help() to access live controls for rotation, camera distance, and animation parameters.
