🎯 3D Geometry & LLM Note Update

✨ What’s New

Your website now features interactive 3D geometric shapes and a humorous note about the LLM-generated nature of the site!

🎲 3D Geometry Showcase

Three Interactive 3D Shapes

1. Rotating Cube 🎲

6 faces labeled with your research keywords: Graph, Signal, Spatial, Omics, Data, AI
Continuous rotation on all three axes
Interactive effects: Hover to speed up rotation, click to change colors
Professional styling with glass morphism effects

2. Morphing Polyhedron 🔷

5-sided geometric shape that continuously morphs
Complex animation with scale and rotation transformations
Multi-colored faces with gradient backgrounds
Represents the complexity of multidimensional data

3. Floating Icosahedron 💎

Triangular faces forming a complex 3D structure
Floating animation with gentle up-and-down motion
Geometric precision representing mathematical modeling
Subtle transparency for elegant appearance

Interactive Features

Hover Effects: Shapes scale up and animations accelerate
Click Effects: Colors shift through hue rotations
Responsive Design: Optimized scaling for mobile devices
Performance Optimized: Reduced motion support for accessibility

😅 Humorous LLM Note

Added to your “About Me” section:

📝 Note: This webpage is autogenerated by LLM, I don’t know how to go back. 😅 But hey, at least it looks cool!

This adds a touch of humor while being transparent about the AI assistance in creating the website.

🔧 Customization Options

Shape Modifications

.rotating-cube {
  width: 120px; /* Adjust size */
  animation: rotateCube 8s infinite linear; /* Change speed */
}

Color Themes

.cube-face.front {
  background: linear-gradient(45deg, rgba(79, 172, 254, 0.2), rgba(102, 126, 234, 0.1));
  border-color: var(--accent-blue);
}

Animation Timing

@keyframes rotateCube {
  0% { transform: rotateX(0deg) rotateY(0deg) rotateZ(0deg); }
  100% { transform: rotateX(360deg) rotateY(360deg) rotateZ(270deg); }
}
