The “Virtual Interdimensional Ghost Teleportation Device” is an interactive 3D web application that brings figures from Japanese mythology to life in the browser. Through a digital “Merkaba,” the beings are teleported into a virtual world, can be viewed, and explored via a click in an info box overlay.
A portfolio project aimed at learning about Japanese myths in German and building cultural bridges.

Frontend: Three.js

The entire 3D environment including models and textures, such as a 1200px x 900px canopy texture and an HDRI environment map, as well as all the code, is smaller than 500 kilobytes. The 3D models are loaded dynamically; the client has no information about them until the server “pushes” them. The communication with the server as well as the spawn function are integrated into the spinner (Merkaba).
Mobile representation is less computationally intensive than the desktop version. An adaptive fidelity system has also been implemented.
