LikeStyle Labs · The sketches are waking up

Go on.
Try something.

curiosity looks good on you.

Follow a ray. Weave a possibility.
Give an idea wings.

Three small experiments. Your hands on the controls.

01 / The optical bench

A little shift.
A different light.

Move the lens. Steer the beam.
See how one small change travels.

A bench for bending lightA gold beam passes through a glass lens toward a screen. Controls below change the light direction and lens position.I. THE SOURCEII. THE POSSIBILITYIII. A NEW VIEW

Move your pointer to steer the light. Tap to place the lens. The sliders do both.

Illustrated optics · A creative study, not a physics simulator

In the margin A different perspective can be the beginning of everything.

02 / The creative loom

Same structure.
Entirely your own.

Pick a thread. Change the pattern.
Watch a system become an expression.

The creative loomThread stretched through an illustrated loom becomes patterned cloth. Choose its pattern, colour and length using the controls below.WARP / WEFT / WHAT IF?TURN AN IDEA

Tap the loom to weave a row, or use the controls. Try another pattern—the thread stays yours.

03 / The linked-wing study

Let the idea
take shape.

One movement. Many connections.
Lift the wings and follow what moves with them.

A linked pair of imagined wingsTwo ribbed wings pivot around a central crank. Connecting rods move with each wing. Controls below let you position, animate and inspect the structure.OBSERVE THE CONNECTIONSONE IDEA / MANY PARTS

Tap the drawing to position the wings. Use the slider to move them by hand, or set the mechanism in motion.

Invented mechanism · Not an aeronautical model

Waiting for a little curiosity.

In the margin A good system makes the pieces work beautifully together.
