Dyausa: Vedic Sky Map Dyausa is the only iOS sky map dedicated to and built for the Vedic night sky, which includes the 27 nakṣatras, the 12 rāśis, and 108 padas as true sky regions. This app also shows the positions of Yogatārās, Vedic star names, Rāhu and Ketu. Point your device up and see the real stars, planets, and Moon with the Vedic map drawn behind them, the way Vedic astronomers and ancient ṛṣis have charted it for millennia. For stargazers, students, and the community of Vedic-astronomy enthusiasts, this is a real planetarium built on a real ephemeris and your location that speaks the Vedic sky natively. This tool will greatly benefit the Vedic astronomy community as it displays ancient mathematics on your device — a yantra for seeing, learning and discovering. What Dyausa draws: • Live crosshair readout — point anywhere and read the rāśi, nakṣatra, and pada in real time. • Yogatārā highlighting — focus any nakṣatra zone and its true anchor star or constellation lights up on the live sky: Jyeṣṭhā lights up red Antares, the heart of the scorpion; Śravaṇa lights the three stars of hearing with Altair in the middle; Kṛttikā lights the Pleiades. • Travel anywhere — search any place on Earth and see the Vedic sky exactly as it stands there, then return to your own location whenever you like. • Travel in time — move the sky forward or back to any date and watch the grahas, the Moon and the nakṣatras shift, or look ahead to a date that matters to you. • The sky divided the Vedic way — the ecliptic sliced into sectors and drawn as beams across the real stars: the 12 rāśis, the finer 27 nakṣatras, and the finest 108 padas — three ways of carving the same great circle — plus Rāhu and Ketu, the lunar nodes. • The real sky underneath — accurate stars, constellations, the Milky Way, Sun, Moon, and planets for your exact time and place. • Sanskrit or English — real Devanāgarī names, or English — your choice.

WaveMachine at Home

This app is a waveform simulation tool that allows you to intuitively control and observe physical phenomena such as wave propagation, reflection, and superposition (interference) right on your smartphone. You can experience the wave behaviors found in physics textbooks by actually moving them with your own fingertips. 【Key Features】 - Intuitive Wave Generation Simply swipe up and down on the edge of the screen to create pulse waves of any shape and size. - Versatile Boundary Conditions You can set the left and right ends to "Fixed End" (wave reflects inverted), "Free End" (wave reflects upright), or "No Reflection" (wave is absorbed). - Visualization of Incident, Reflected, and Superposed Waves The app color-codes the traveling "Incident Wave," the bouncing "Reflected Wave," and the combined "Superposed Wave." You can see at a glance the exact moment waves interfere to become larger (constructive) or smaller (destructive). - Time Machine Function (Seek Bar & Frame-by-Frame) Pause the wave motion and use the seek bar to freely travel back to past waveforms. Frame-by-frame advance and rewind buttons let you carefully observe and analyze the crucial moments when waves overlap. - Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) Mode Automatically generate beautiful sine waves with a single button. Ideal for observing continuous waves traveling at a constant period or standing waves created by reflection. - Free Customization Adjust the simulation speed, change the colors of each wave, and use the snapshot feature (which leaves a faint trace of the waveform in the background). 【Recommended For】 - Students studying wave mechanics who want to visually understand wave reflection and interference. - Educators who want to clearly explain wave motion in their classes. - Anyone who wants to relax by watching soothing, undulating waves.
