Modular Open-Source Tools for Higher-Dimensional Visualization
A project of Hyxos Media
Shard³ is the flagship metaproject of Hyxos Media, dedicated to building modular, open-source tools for the visualization, exploration, and creative expression of higher-dimensional geometric and mathematical structures.
Shard³ provides a unified technical architecture and project roadmap. Each subproject in the Shard³ ecosystem targets a distinct aspect of high-dimensional geometry, sharing common infrastructure and design standards.
| Project | Purpose & Focus | Repository | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slice³ | 2D cross-section (“slice”) visualizations of the 3-sphere (S³); SVG and web export | slice3 | Active |
| Spin³ | Quaternionic rotation and flow visualization (animations, motion, SLERP, etc.) | spin3 | Planned |
| Glow³ | Scalar field, color-mapping, and gradient visualizations on S³ | glow3 | Planned |
| Fold³ | Deformation and re-embedding of 3D/4D geometry (Klein bottle, folds, etc.) | fold3 | Planned |
| Echo³ | Audio-driven and sonification-based geometry visualization | echo3 | Planned |
| svg2png-wasm-rs | SVG to PNG export utility (WASM/Rust), shared across subprojects | svg2png-wasm-rs | Active |
| (More…) | Additional modules, utilities, and shared libraries to be announced | Coming soon | Planned |
- Frontend/UI: Next.js (TypeScript), SVG with all styling embedded inline
- Computation Core: Rust compiled to WASM, providing high-performance math and projection APIs
- Persistence & Auth: Supabase (SQL + Auth) for saving user data, exports, and configurations
- Export Utilities: SVG and PNG export, with shared utilities (svg2png-wasm-rs)
- CI/CD: Vercel (preview and production deployments)
- Documentation: Centralized in
/docs(system design, contribution guides, architecture diagrams)
- Modular: Each subproject is independently developed, tested, and deployed
- Open-Source: All code and documentation is public, with clear contributing guidelines
- Professional: Adheres to modern engineering standards—CI/CD, testing, code review, public roadmaps
- Extensible: Designed for future projects and easy integration of new modules
- Clone this repo for metaproject docs, subproject references, and architecture overview.
- See the
docs/directory for system diagrams, contribution guidelines, and vision documents. - Start with Slice³ for a working MVP and live demo.
We welcome contributions from engineers, scientists, artists, and open-source enthusiasts.
- Please see CONTRIBUTING.md for how to get involved.
