space

small project on svelte, bun, sveltethree, and modern front end framework

Overview

This project is a 3D interactive web application built with Svelte and Svelthree. The app lets users explore a scaled model of space, navigate between celestial bodies, and view detailed information about stars and planets. The goal is to create an immersive and educational experience using real ephemeris data.

Features

Initial Scope

3D Space Environment:

A scalable 3D space environment where users can traverse and explore different celestial bodies. Basic celestial objects such as stars, planets, and moons represented as 3D models.

User Navigation:

Allow users to freely navigate the space using standard controls (e.g., pan, zoom, rotate). Camera controls to ensure smooth user movement between objects.

Interactive Objects:

Each celestial body can be clicked or hovered over to display basic information. Information panel shows details like the name, type, distance from Earth, and other relevant data.

Real-time Data Fetching:

Integration with an ephemeris API to fetch and display accurate data. Display relevant data (e.g., current position, distance, orbital path) based on ephemeris data.

Technology Stack

• Frontend Framework: Svelte
• 3D Graphics Library: Three.js (via Svelthree)
• Data API: Ephemeris API for real-time data
• Bundler: Bun
