Aether Reader
Atmospheric digital e-reader with GPU-accelerated page curls and dynamic circadian lighting.
Aether Reader is a distraction-free mobile reading app engineered to recreate the physical, tactile delight of paper books using GPU vertex deformation.
Most digital reading apps either use flat slide animations that feel cold and digital or heavy 3D engines that drain mobile batteries.
Data pipeline flow and computational delegation across system layers:
Engineered a custom vertex shader in OpenGL ES and Metal that deforms page meshes in real time based on finger touch coordinates, with dynamic shadow occlusion under the curl.
