Pulsar 3D v1.0.0 Release

We are thrilled to announce the release of Pulsar 3D version 1.0.0, an interactive 3D simulation that explores the amazing world of pulsars!

What is Pulsar 3D?

Pulsar 3D is an educational tool designed to visualize and explore the dynamics of pulsars - highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars that emit beams of electromagnetic radiation. This simulation offers an immersive experience for astronomy enthusiasts, students, and educators.

Key Features

  • Realistic 3D Rendering: Experience a 3D visually representation of a pulsar, with its magnetic field lines, emission beams, and atmosphere;
  • Interactive Controls: Manipulate the pulsar's rotation speed, inclination, viewing angle, and other parameters to observe how they influences the pulsar's emission patterns and overall behavior;
  • Educational Insights: Learn about the physics of pulsars through informative images and explanations;
  • Radiation Beam Visualization: Observe and interact with the pulsar's radiation beams;
  • Magnetic Field Exploration: Visualize and interact with the pulsar's powerful magnetic field;
  • Perspective Grid: Utilize a 3D grid system to gain a clear understanding of the pulsar's spatial properties and scale;
  • Rotation Axis Visualization: Clearly see and manipulate the pulsar's rotation axis;
  • Customizable Scenarios: Use the Pulsar 3D camera and resourcers to create different scenarios on the pulsar's phenomena.

System Requirements

For PC:

  • Operating System: Windows 7+, macOS 10.11+, or Linux
  • Browser: Latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge
  • Graphics: WebGL 2.0 capable graphics card (most cards from 2011 onwards)
  • CPU: Intel Pentium 4 or later with SSE2 support
  • RAM: 4 GB or more
  • Disk Space: 500 MB of free space for browser cache

For Smartphone and Tablet:

  • iOS Devices: iOS 11.0 or later, Safari browser
  • Android Devices: Android 7.0 (Nougat) or later, Chrome browser
  • Graphics: OpenGL ES 3.0 support
  • RAM: 2 GB or more
  • Disk Space: 500 MB of free space for browser cache

General Requirements:

  • Stable internet connection
  • JavaScript enabled in the browser
  • Hardware acceleration enabled for optimal performance

Note: While Pulsar 3D is designed to work on a wide range of devices, performance may vary depending on your specific hardware. For the best experience, we recommend using a device with a dedicated graphics card or a recent high-performance mobile device.
