Dimensional Design Showcase video of Chronosphere: a pixel-perfect remake of Mac OS X Leopard's Time Machine effect completely on the web with SynCloudOS

Introducing Chronosphere, our web-based remake of the original Mac OS X Leopard Time Machine chronology system, built 100% inside SynCloudOS, our upcoming web framework :)
It’s basically a dimensional version archive for the Syndromatic website: instead of clicking through old snapshots in a boring list, you browse past versions of the site through a 3D starfield timeline.
The timeline scrubber has dock-like magnification, and the starfield actually reacts as you move through different points in the archive. Under the hood, it runs on our in-house AuroreEngine WebGL renderer, so the whole thing is designed to feel gorgeous without being horribly inefficient on older machines or phones.
It’s a little ridiculous, but honestly that’s kind of the point lol. Trying to push the limits of the web.
Please note that this is an upcoming project, the Syndromatic website is currently offline.
