1. Studio Mission
Founded by Dibyajyoti Rout, Animatrous is an independent software research and engineering laboratory dedicated to transforming web browsers into console-grade spatial computing platforms. We believe the next generation of creative and computing tools should require zero software installations, demand zero specialized hardware peripherals, and guarantee absolute mathematical privacy by executing 100% locally.
2. Core Engineering Pillars
- Zero-Cloud Latency: All neural networks, physics engines, and graphics shaders execute client-side using WebAssembly SIMD and WebGPU.
- Contactless Interaction: Translating standard webcam video into 21-point 3D anatomical landmarks for intuitive, touchless mid-air control.
- Universal Open Access: High-performance tools engineered to run at steady 60 FPS on everyday consumer laptops without dedicated GPUs.
- Open-Source Contributions: Core interaction algorithms and kinematics engines published under the
@animatrousregistry on NPM.
3. Studio Portfolio & Ecosystem
Animatrous maintains five flagship production systems across the spatial web:
| Project | Core Architecture | Domain | NPM Package | GitHub Repository |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ink of the Forgotten Path | 3D Martial Arts Action Engine + Biomechanical Kinematics & Signal Processing | ink-of-the-forgotten-path.animatrous.com | ink-of-the-forgotten-path (v0.1.0) | ink-of-the-forgotten-path-npm-package |
| HandForge | WebGPU Compute Shaders + 3D Mesh Deformation | handforge.animatrous.com | handforge (v1.0.2) | handforge-npm-package |
| NexaDesk | Touchless 2D Spatial Window Manager & OS | nexadesk.animatrous.com | nexadesk (v1.0.0) | nexadesk-npm-package |
| Shadow Boxer | Kinetic Strike Vector Physics & Motion Combat | shadowboxer.animatrous.com | @animatrous/shadow-boxer (v0.1.0) | shadow-boxer-npm-package |
| Vibe Locus | Client-Side Spatial Learning, AI Memory Palace & Vector Retrieval | vibelocus.animatrous.com | vibelocus (v1.0.1) | vibelocus-npm-package |
| Void Runner | 3D Retro-Futuristic Headset-Less VR Runner (Three.js) | animatrous.com/game | void-runner (v0.1.1) | void-runner-npm-package |
4. Hardware & Testing Lab
All prototypes undergo rigorous profiling on dual-core Intel/AMD mobile chipsets, Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3), and standard 720p/1080p consumer webcams to guarantee strict sub-16ms frame budgeting and sub-10% CPU usage.
5. Open Source Sponsorship & Research Funding
Animatrous packages are 100% open-source, client-side, and privacy-respecting by design. If you or your team use our NPM packages (ink-of-the-forgotten-path, handforge, nexadesk, vibelocus, void-runner, @animatrous/shadow-boxer), you can sponsor our ongoing spatial computing research directly on GitHub with 0% platform fees.
