Spinward lets you design a rotating space colony and explore it from inside and outside. Its O’Neill cylinder views turn the idea of living on the inside of a spinning habitat into a place you can look around. Source
Change the colony’s size, gravity, architecture, land use and time of day, then follow a guided tour. The project distinguishes its physics calculations for gravity, spin and size from its illustrative towns and landscapes. Source
Design and explore an O’Neill cylinder in your browser. Adjust the colony’s size, gravity, architecture and daylight, switch between interior and exterior views, and take a guided tour of a rotating space habitat.
