Claude-built walkable O'Neill cylinder simulation draws attention

Original: I asked Claude build a physically accurate O'Neill cylinder you can walk around

A developer used Anthropic's Claude to build an interactive, physically accurate simulation of an O'Neill cylinder — a rotating space habitat concept — that users can walk around in. The project, available as a web demo, showcases AI coding tools being used to create educational physics visualisations of far-future space settlement designs.

Why now: Interest in AI-assisted coding and classic space habitat concepts makes this a striking demonstration of what Claude can build from a single prompt.
