System Requirements Document (SRD)

Project Name: neon-universe

1. Introduction

Welcome to the System Requirements Document (SRD) for neon-universe, a project envisioned by Kanwar Veer from India. This document outlines the technical and functional specifications for creating a modern, interactive, and visually stunning website titled "History of the Universe". The website will serve as an educational and immersive journey through the cosmos, from the Big Bang to the far future, leveraging cutting-edge UI/UX design principles and interactive elements.

The project aims to deliver a 5-page website with consistent navigation, engaging visuals, and user-friendly interactivity, ensuring an unforgettable experience for visitors.

2. System Overview

The neon-universe website will be a responsive, multi-page platform designed to educate and inspire users about the history and future of the universe. It will feature:

Five thematic pages: Home, The Beginning, Cosmic Dawn, Life & Humans, and The Future & End.
Interactive elements: Timelines, sliders, galleries, and infographics.
Modern design: Glassmorphism, cosmic-themed animations, and smooth transitions.
Responsive layout: Optimized for both desktop and mobile devices.
Educational content: Sourced from credible scientific references like NASA, ESA, and renowned authors.

The website will be built using HTML5, TailwindCSS, and Vanilla JavaScript, ensuring lightweight performance and compatibility across devices.

3. Functional Requirements

6. Signature Design Concept

Interactive Galaxy Map Homepage

The Home page will feature a 3D interactive galaxy map as its centerpiece. Visitors will see a floating galaxy with stars, planets, and nebulae that they can click on to navigate to different sections of the website.

Page 5 of 7

Details:

Animation: The galaxy rotates slowly, with stars twinkling and nebulae pulsating.
Interaction: Hovering over a star reveals a tooltip with the name of the section (e.g., "The Beginning"). Clicking zooms into that star and transitions to the corresponding page.
Micro-interactions: Smooth zoom-in/out effects, subtle sound effects (e.g., a soft "whoosh" when clicking).
Color Shifts: The galaxy's colors subtly change based on the time of day (e.g., cooler tones at night, warmer tones during the day).

This bold and unforgettable design will captivate users and make the website stand out as a unique educational platform.
