Architecture | Aether OS

Overview

Aether OS is a next-generation spatial operating system built on web-native technologies. It reimagines computing by replacing traditional WIMP interfaces with an immersive 3D spatial canvas where data exists as interconnected nodes.

System Layers

Presentation Layer

Three.js / WebGPU

CSS3 Glassmorphism

TypeScript

Core Engine

AI Orchestrator

Physics Engine

Graph Database

Plugin System

Data Layer

IndexedDB / SQLite

Vector Embeddings

Real-time Sync

Core Principles

Zero-App Architecture

No more app switching. Every piece of functionality is a micro-tool, assembled on-demand.

Associative Memory

Data stored as interconnected nodes with semantic relationships for instant retrieval.

Physics-Based UI

Nodes float, connect, and interact through physics simulation for natural navigation.

AI Orchestration

Natural language commands dynamically assemble UI components based on intent.

Technology Stack

Aether OS leverages cutting-edge technologies across all layers:

3D Rendering: Three.js with WebGPU acceleration
AI: Claude API, Ollama for local inference
Storage: IndexedDB for browser, SQLite for desktop
Desktop: Tauri (Rust) for native performance
Mobile: Capacitor for cross-platform deployment

Data Flow

User Input → Event Bus → AI Orchestrator → Component Library
                                ↓
                         Memory Graph → IndexedDB → Vector DB
                                ↓
                         Three.js → 3D Canvas
