An interactive string lab that turns vibrating lines, standing waves, and harmonic modes into a visual playground — built as a single-file portfolio piece with controls and embedded AI advisors.
STRING is the “vibrating universe” lab in the portfolio set. It focuses on waves, resonance, and modes on one or more strings, giving you a clean, high-contrast way to see how frequency, tension, and harmonics change the motion.
Very short version of string theory: instead of treating particles as tiny points, string theory imagines them as incredibly small vibrating strings. The way a string vibrates (its frequency, mode, and pattern) determines what kind of particle it “looks like” to the universe — similar to how different notes on a guitar are just different vibration patterns of the same string.
This lab doesn’t simulate full-blown string theory physics; instead, it gives you a hands-on wave and resonance playground inspired by that idea. You can see how changing frequency, tension, damping, and mode index reshapes the motion and the pattern of nodes and antinodes along the string.
What you can explore: drag or orbit the camera , switch between different string setups, and use the control panel to adjust driving frequency, amplitude, damping, and harmonics. The visualization responds in real time so you can watch the standing waves lock in or break apart as you tune the parameters.
How to demo it live: start with a simple fundamental mode, then slowly increase the frequency until a higher harmonic “snaps” into place. Point out the fixed nodes (where the string barely moves) and the large antinodes (where motion is biggest). From there, you can show damping, phase changes, or switching between different preset patterns.
Portfolio intent: this file is designed to show that I can combine real-time visuals, intuitive controls, wave/physics intuition, and light AI hooks into a single, kiosk-friendly artifact that runs locally in a browser with no build step.
When you hit Enter Lab, the splash closes and the STRING simulation takes over the screen, ready for tablet demo, screen-share, or live walkthrough.
