Exploratoria is an open-source project that attempts to show how easy it is to use Three.js and other JavaScript tools to code visualizations of physical systems. Each visualization and its underlying code are displayed side by side to show immediately the results of experimentation. Completed exhibits are listed by category, with recently added exhibits in bold.
