Project Roadmap
We started here. We’re building this. And we’re going further.
An honest look at where the project is today and where it’s heading — a continuous descent through the anatomy of the computer, built in the open.
- 01Completed
Core Hardware Foundation
The ground we started from — the core interactive viewer and the data layer that lets every component be explored.
- Interactive CPU & motherboard models
- Orbit controls & clickable hotspots
- Component data layer & labelling
- 02Completed
Interactive Exploration
Turning a 3D model into something you can move through — select, break apart and inspect hardware for yourself.
- Component selection & camera focus
- Layer-by-layer system unit views
- Explosion & detail inspection
- 03In Progress
Complete Component Library
Growing past the CPU to the full anatomy of a machine — every part, every function, every common problem.
- GPU internals
- PSU & cooling
- Storage & RAM modules
- 04Planned
Computer Systems
Assembling whole systems so you can see how individual parts connect and work together as a single machine.
- Full system unit breakdowns
- Motherboard & interconnect anatomy
- Peripherals & connectivity
- 05Planned
Networking Fundamentals
How computers talk to each other — the wires, switches, and protocols that sit between the machines we build.
- Router, switch & NIC modules
- Network topology & cabling
- Protocols & basic concepts
- 06Future
Interactive Learning
A structured curriculum that brings everything together — guided paths, progress, and classroom support.
- Structured learning paths
- Quizzes & progress tracking
- Classroom & self-hosted mode
- 07Future
Community & Open Source
Handing the project to the people — open contributions, user-built content, and a growing community around it.
- User-created models
- Worldwide contributor export
- Localization & i18n
