Explorations for a 3D physical user interface meant to navigate across solar systems. Inspired by the work of Larry Niven and Freeman Dyson.

Shown are different looks and style frames of theoretical energy harvesting systems—such as Dyson arrays, rings, and spheres— meant to collect as much energy as possible from a star.

Made in Cinema4D, rendered in Octane, composited in After Effects and Photoshop.
