Pendulum Wave 3D

Features
Read full description

Eighteen pendulums, released at the same instant. A perfect line for a moment — then a wave, a fold, then no pattern at all. Sixty seconds later, a perfect line again. None of that is luck. Every pendulum is given a length that makes it swing an exact whole number of times per cycle, so the scattered part was never really a mess. It was the middle of a return. It is not a looping video, and not an animation faked to look about right. It is a live physics simulation, computed frame by frame while you watch. NOBODY WROTE THE MUSIC Turn the sound on, and each pendulum rings a note once per full swing, as it crosses the bottom — higher for the short ones, lower for the long ones. Only five notes of the scale are used (do, re, mi, so, la), spread across octaves, so they stay clear no matter how many sound at once. There is no composer here. The lengths are the melody. The moment everything lines up is the quietest one — all eighteen are at the far end of their arc, none of them crossing the bottom. A breath later, eighteen notes come down in a run, high to low, in under a fifth of a second. You are hearing exactly what you are watching. ANY ANGLE YOU LIKE Drag to put the camera anywhere. From an angle, a row of swinging pendulums. From directly above, a wave running along the row. The motion never changes. The angle does all the work. Four layouts: a straight Line; a Circle, where the wave travels around the ring; a Spiral winding outward; and a Grid, where the swing spreads like woven mesh — the more pendulums you add, the clearer the weave. Four color themes — Cool, Neon, Mono, Sunset. The bobs glow softly. Turn on Light trails in the Display panel, and each one leaves a line of light hanging in the air behind it. CINEMA MODE One tap: the controls disappear, the camera begins a slow orbit, and the ad goes with them. A waiting room screen, a tablet on the edge of a desk, a dark room late at night. It becomes something to look at, and nothing else. ALSO INSIDE • Set the number of pendulums, the cycle length, the swing angle and the speed • Save any setup you like as a preset • A data panel listing every pendulum's swings, length and period • "How it works" — the real explanation, in plain words, no equations • Available in 33 languages • No account, no sign-in. iPhone and iPad ABOUT THE ADS The app is free. There is one small banner at the bottom of the screen — no full-screen ads, no video ads — and in Cinema mode even that banner disappears. Before the first ad, the app asks you — on iPhone and iPad for permission to track; in Europe, a consent screen comes first. Accept, and ads may be matched to your interests; decline, and the banner still appears, simply unmatched. You can change your answer later: the consent in the app's settings, the tracking permission in iOS Settings. The app itself never asks for your name or email. To show the banner, Google AdMob uses standard advertising data (an advertising identifier and approximate location derived from your IP). See our Privacy Policy for details. Don't stop watching while it is scattered. Stay until it lines up again.

The question lands. The room goes quiet. Someone starts laughing before the scan even begins. LieLab turns that charged pause into a playful performance. Ask the question, choose Voice or Two-Touch mode, and let the theatrical TRUE, SUS, or LIE reveal give everyone a reason to react. LieLab is an entertainment simulation—not a real lie detector, proof of honesty, or a tool for serious decisions. VOICE, KEPT PRIVATE During a Voice scan, LieLab briefly detects human voice activity on your device only to animate the experience. It does not transcribe or interpret what anyone says. Audio is not uploaded. Any temporary audio buffer and activity state used for the scan are discarded when the scan ends. TWO TOUCHPOINTS, NOT FINGERPRINTS Two-Touch mode asks for two simultaneous touchpoints to build suspense. LieLab does not read, capture, identify, or store real fingerprints or biometric data, and it does not access Touch ID. MAKE A NIGHT OF IT • Pick a question from built-in decks or create a Custom Deck. • Start Party mode, pass the phone, and keep the room moving round by round. • Save or export result cards and session moments to share the joke. • LieLab Pro unlocks clearly marked premium decks, Party play, Custom Decks, extra export choices, and additional controls. Use LieLab with people who are in on the joke. Never use an entertainment result to accuse, pressure, judge, or make decisions about another person. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND PURCHASES LieLab Pro is available through Weekly and Annual auto-renewable subscriptions. Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel before the renewal date. Payment will be charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple Account settings. The price and availability shown in the app are determined by your App Store storefront. Eligible new subscribers can start the Annual plan with a 3-day free trial; after the trial, the Annual subscription renews at the displayed yearly price unless canceled. LieLab Pro Lifetime is a separate one-time purchase and does not renew. Privacy Policy: https://lielab.pandasroom.top/privacy Terms of Use: https://lielab.pandasroom.top/terms
