I had a conversation with my friend Torcado that opened up an idea for a goofy Javascript project. I was thinking about mouse interactivity on webpages, and toyed with the idea of being able to throw around a 3D cube on a flat webpage. The cube would arc through the air and land all according to some typical physics engine, but it would never get closer or farther away from you. That is to say... the cube can fall in any direction, but always be the same distance away from the camera, and always be on screen.

Torcado said this is what an orthographic projection will always do. And it makes sense! But I liked the way he ended up explaining it to me. Imagine the cube, and your camera, sitting in an infinitely long tunnel exactly the height and width of your browser window. A tunnel where the end is technically nonexistent, and infinitesimally small. And now, with your camera aimed straight down the tunnel, present it orthographically. Simply by definition, all four edges of the tunnel have to be exactly parallel to your viewport, so you immediately find your entire screen filled with the nonexistent ending to an infinitely long tunnel. And now the cube always remains exactly the same size no matter where you throw it in the tunnel.

But now to see if I can get it done. Torcado recommends using threejs, and I don’t have any preference since it’s all new to me. Time to learn a little.

I am having actually fucking difficulty’s listening to toracado or Jeff Willam’s. Or any RT music for that matter, it just makes me sad. Like I can’t listen to contact without breaking down into tears, I can’t listen to on your knees or Red like roses, it makes me want to cry? Scream? Mourn something I was never truly a part of?
