🚀 3D Space Rover & Exploration Simulator

A polished, interactive 3D space rover simulation built with Three.js that lets you explore a stylized rocky valley environment. This project features robust movement physics, real-time telemetry tracking, collision detection, and a cinematic third-person camera experience, representing a modern front-end showcase for WebGL graphics.

👤 Developer & Creator

🚀 Features

  • Next-Gen 3D Rendering: Immersive, full-screen canvas displaying procedurally generated low-polygon rock formations, customized shadows, and atmospheric sunset fog.
  • Dual-Control Systems: Smooth driving physics (acceleration/deceleration) controllable via keyboard (W, A, S, D / Arrow Keys) or the compact, responsive on-screen D-Pad.
  • Live Telemetry Dashboard: Tracks real-time simulation metrics including current Rover X/Z coordinates, velocity, and a dynamic distance sensor for the nearest obstacle.
  • Smart Orbit Camera: Seamless third-person follow camera tracking that allows manual mouse rotation (drag to orbit, scroll to zoom) without breaking the follow lock.
  • Optimized HUD Layout: Modern glassmorphism-inspired overlays strategically split into corners to maximize the 3D canvas viewport.

🛠️ Tech Stack & Tools

  • 3D Graphics & Engine: JavaScript, Three.js (WebGL), OrbitControls
  • UI Structure & Layout: HTML5, CSS3 (Custom Glassmorphism Panels)
  • Physics & Animation: JavaScript ES6 Event Listeners, Custom Delta-Time Render Loop
