Spinning Cube Demo

This is a minimal example demonstrating React Three Fiber infrastructure integration.

Features

• Interactive 3D rendering - Fully interactive WebGL scene running in the browser
• Camera controls - Drag to rotate the camera view, scroll to zoom in and out
• Adaptive performance - Automatically adjusts quality based on device capabilities
• Real-time tweaking - Leva GUI for development (visible in dev mode)

Implementation

The cube uses @react-three/fiber for declarative 3D rendering and @react-three/drei for common helpers like OrbitControls and Box. Animation is handled via the useFrame hook, which runs on every render loop.

The component demonstrates device-adaptive rendering by detecting mobile devices and adjusting visual quality accordingly. On desktop, the cube displays as a wireframe with full shadows and antialiasing. On mobile devices, the wireframe is disabled and rendering quality is reduced to maintain smooth performance.

Tech Stack

• React Three Fiber 8.18 - React renderer for Three.js
• Three.js 0.171 - WebGL-based 3D graphics library
• TypeScript - Type-safe component development
• Leva - Development GUI controls for tweaking parameters

Future Enhancements

This basic demo serves as infrastructure validation. Future interactive projects will include:

• Interactive SLAM visualization
• Neural network architecture explorer
• Physics-based robot arm simulator
• Path planning algorithm playground
