## What is My Attractor?

It Moves! It Zooms! It Rotates! It Does Real-Time 3D!

Now you can own your very own Strange Attractor! Keep it in your pocket to play with any time you like.

My Attractor is a tool to help visualize the Lorenz and Rössler Strange Attractors, not only in 3D Space, but also over time. You may have seen these attractors as static images tracing a single point on the screen or in print. My Attractor gives you a new perspective of these mathematical objects by animating hundreds of points - each following their own independent path through the attractor - giving a better perspective of how they behave.

Strange Attractors are part of the field of study known as Chaos Theory.

- Grab and rotate the attractor with your finger to view from any perspective.
- Autopilot will fly you around the attractor while it is in motion
- Shake your device to reset the points to random initial positions.
- Customize the attractors by adjusting the parameters to the formulas
- View these attractors as hundreds of independent points flying through the attractor or as a single point tracing a path.

A video demonstration can be viewed through my website.

## Key features

- Real-time 3D animation
- Interactive rotation and zooming
- Hundreds of independent points

### 5/5 — Does Just What It Says On The Tin

*2020-05-13, version 1.5*

A great little app, we were looking for a no frills but visually appealing app to generate spectacular lorenz attractor animation for a multi media project and this does it intuitively & with ease. I’m looking forward to playing around with the numbers and seeing what more we can come up with but I’m more than happy with what we got first time. 

And it’s free too! What’s not to like!

### 5/5 — Best illustration

*2012-01-21, version 1.0*

Wow, this app is really great! I used it for my presentation in university and get maximum points, thanks

### 3/5 — Retina

*2010-10-29, version 0*

Retina graphics update would be a bonus. =)

### 5/5 — Karan is a moron

*2010-07-15, version 0*

This is brilliant. Note: this is not a game, it is a tool used to appreciate a mathematical model. Excellently smooth graphics.

### 5/5 — Slick and Simple

*2009-10-16, version 0*

Polished app that does what it claims and does it with panache. Great interface that follows iPhone conventions and works as it should. Makes it fun and easy to explore these two strange attractors.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2009-10-01, version 0*

I love this app it is an awesome app you need to get it.

### 5/5 — Mon attracteur favoris.

*2009-09-15, version 0*

Carrement génial !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! télécharger le ...

### 5/5 — Mon attracteur

*2009-07-04, version 0*

Remarquable ! Créatif et artistique ! Possibilité de modifier les formes, le mouvement, la couleur. Si les formules mathématiques de Lorenz conduisent à la théorie du chaos, j'appellerais cette application la conquête du chaos.

## Frequently asked questions about My Attractor

### What does My Attractor do?

My Attractor is an application designed to visualize Lorenz and Rössler Strange Attractors in real-time 3D. It animates hundreds of points moving through these mathematical objects, offering a dynamic perspective beyond static images.

### What are the key features of My Attractor?

Key features include real-time 3D movement and rotation of attractors, an autopilot mode for automated viewing, the ability to customize attractor parameters, and options to view attractors as hundreds of independent points or a single tracing point.

### How much does My Attractor cost?

Based on the provided information, the application is a paid app. There are no mentions of in-app purchases or advertisements, suggesting a one-time purchase model.

### What is Chaos Theory?

Chaos Theory is a field of study that deals with complex systems whose behavior is highly sensitive to initial conditions. Strange Attractors, like the Lorenz and Rössler attractors visualized in this app, are fundamental concepts within Chaos Theory.

### Who would benefit from using My Attractor?

This app is ideal for students and educators learning about Chaos Theory, as well as anyone with an interest in mathematics and dynamic systems who wants an interactive way to explore these complex visual patterns.
