A WebGL demo of the Observer Effect

In plain words

This is a WebGL demonstration of the quantum mechanics concept known as the Observer Effect. Created in 2014, it visualizes how observation affects the behavior of quantum systems through interactive 3D graphics in a web browser. The demo is designed for people interested in physics concepts and interactive science visualizations. It provides a hands-on way to explore this fundamental principle of quantum mechanics through real-time web-based animation.
