Falling Into a Black Hole
How the live, light-bending black hole behind our home page is built — real gravitational physics, ray-traced in your browser as you scroll.
The backdrop on our home page isn't a video loop — it's a black hole rendered live, one bent light ray at a time. Here's how it works, and why it looks the way it does.

Afrobotica, the Earthlight Historian
A live, offline-first conversational AI character — the pre-show to the Museum of Science's planetarium production Earthlight World: An Astronaut's Journey.
Afrobotica is a live conversational AI character who listens, thinks, and speaks under a full planetarium dome — the pre-show to the Museum of Science (Boston) production Earthlight World: An Astronaut's Journey. Built around artist-astronaut Dr. Sian Proctor's vision, she runs almost entirely offline on a single workstation, turning a microphone, a local language model, and a real-time dome render into an unscripted conversation about Earth, space, and who gets to go.

PhLEx Studio — Physics Lab Assessment Platform
An AI-powered platform that transforms how students learn physics by replacing traditional lab reports with real-time Socratic dialogue, helping them build genuine conceptual understanding.
PhLEx Studio reimagines physics lab education. Instead of filling out worksheets and writing reports, students engage with a Socratic AI tutor that asks the right questions at the right time — guiding them to discover concepts on their own. The platform gives instructors clear visibility into where students are struggling, replacing guesswork with insight.

Space Grid AI — Intelligent Shipyard Logistics
Consulting partnership with Space Grid AI to architect an AI-native logistics platform that brings intelligent scheduling and resource optimization to shipyard operations.
chaotic curiosity serves as a consulting partner to Space Grid AI, helping architect their AI-native logistics platform for shipyard operations. The system brings intelligent scheduling and resource optimization to complex multi-vessel maintenance workflows, turning operational data into smarter plans with every iteration.

Embodied Games Lab — Immersive Experience Consulting
Consulting partnership with Dr. Mina Johnson-Glenberg's Embodied Games Lab at ASU, developing immersive experiences including audio production, QA, and novel VR prototypes.
An ongoing collaboration with the Embodied Games Lab at Arizona State University, led by Dr. Mina Johnson-Glenberg. chaotic curiosity consults on immersive experience development — from audio design and QA on the educational game Being Water, to working with lab students on novel experiences like a VR swimming simulator. The partnership bridges industry expertise with academic research in embodied learning.

Poovadland Lab — Construction Automation Research
Applied research in XR, AI, robotics, and brain-computer interfaces for construction automation, conducted in collaboration with Arizona State University.
An ongoing applied research collaboration with Dr. Shiva Poovadland's lab at Arizona State University, exploring the intersection of extended reality, artificial intelligence, robotics, and brain-computer interfaces for construction automation. The work spans multiple studies advancing how emerging technologies can transform the built environment.
