WaveQuest

Bend Waves with your fingertips. Real-time 3D waves, sound, and haptics — all in one interactive playground.

Light, sound, signal. At their core, they're all waves. Yet most of us learn them through static equations and flat, motionless diagrams. WaveQuest closes that gap. Instead of memorizing wave mechanics, you put the physics directly in your hands. Bend a waveform with your fingertips and watch the math respond in real time. You're not reading about interference patterns. You're creating them. WaveQuest was recognized as a Swift Student Challenge 2026 Winner for exactly this reason.

FIVE INTERACTIVE LEVELS

Each module targets a core concept in wave physics: Level 1: Pure Tone. Master amplitude, frequency, and phase with a single sine wave.

Level 2: Superposition. Blend harmonics and observe algebraic wave summation in real time.

Level 3: Beat Interference. Tune close frequencies and hear the pulsing envelope emerge.

Level 4: Damping. Watch oscillating systems shed energy and decay toward equilibrium.

Level 5: Signal Modulation. Explore AM communication by adjusting carrier and modulation frequencies.

SECRET CHALLENGE

Complete all five levels to unlock Reconstruct, a mystery waveform challenge that tests everything you have learned.
