Interactive Particle System
StarDust is an interactive typography project where I focused on blending text rendering with particle physics. The core function of this tool is to transform standard text input into thousands of individual points that react to user interaction.
Unlike static text, each letter here dissolves into a constellation of particles. I implemented a physics engine that allows the particles to respond to cursor movement—scattering when pushed and drifting back into formation when released.
Visual Themes & Color Palettes
To offer variety in the visual experience, I designed four distinct themes based on 2026 color trends. Each theme adjusts both the color scheme and the typography style:
- Quietude: Utilizes soft creams and powder neutrals for a minimal look.
- Symbiosis: Features deep teals and aquatic blues.
- Electric Dreams: A high-contrast combination of neon purples and cyber pinks.
- Ancient Earth: Composed of warm ambers and terracotta tones.

Technical Implementation
Audio Integration
I added ethereal water droplet sounds that trigger based on interaction intensity. This provides immediate auditory feedback as the particles disperse and reassemble.
Responsiveness
The project is built to be fully responsive. Whether on a desktop cursor or a mobile touchscreen, the physics simulations run smoothly to ensure the interaction remains fluid across devices.
This project serves as a digital space where users can experiment with the balance between text legibility and particle motion.
