This post explains how to simulate gravity and motion with the D3 JavaScript library.
Play with this online simulation from MinuteLabs.io to create unique chaotic pendulums. Add or remove vertices and edit their positions, mass, and velocities, then click start to see what happens.
Design firm Clever°Franke uses data to create interactive experiences. Read about how they created near-real-time visualizations that tracked performance and engaged spectators at the 2019 Dutch national BMX championships.
