How do I shape a sculpture?
Drag the sculpture in Shape mode to unfold and twist it. Choose Turn to rotate the view, or scroll to move closer. Scatter separates the surface; Gather brings it back. Keep saves the form to your private collection. Fullscreen is available from the corner control.
Where can I see AI creation?
Open Create with AI in the sculpture studio, describe a form, and submit it. The status shows when AI is working. The result grows into the stage and remains directly editable. Cloud AI runs on the live site; a clearly labelled local interpretation is available when cloud access is unavailable.
What is DevPause?
DevPause is a living sculpture studio. Play twenty-four forms, drag to reshape them, create a new sculpture with AI, and hear a personal soundtrack composed in your browser. Keep your favorites in a private collection. Connected places, focus sessions, and sourced research remain secondary experiments.
Is DevPause free?
All eight places, visual sculpture exploration, object discoveries, personal homes, shared journeys, science experiments, and basic recordings are free. World Pass adds sculpture sessions across the complete collection, a longer daily archive, material studies, longer recordings, color controls, and wallpaper exports. Purchases are currently being prepared.
Do I need an account?
No account or email is required. The browser keeps an anonymous identity to save home objects and session timing. Private journal notes stay on the device. Download a home backup if you want to restore the collection in another browser.
How do I play an object and keep it?
Enter the world and open Play, or tap an object in the scene. Move its control toward the visible mark to discover its response. Then choose Bring home. Open Home to arrange your collection and write a private discovery note.
Why does the music sometimes need a tap to start?
The site attempts autoplay, but browsers can block sound until you interact. Tap the sound button to start. Your choice to turn sound off is remembered. The score is composed in the browser rather than played from a repeating audio file.
Can I explore with someone else?
Yes. Open More, then Wander together and create a private invitation for one companion. Invitations last six hours. Both visitors can play objects and change the mix; the host guides the path. Private homes and journal notes are excluded.
Can I download the music?
On browsers with MediaRecorder support, open Sound and choose Record performance. Keep the resulting audio file on your device. Free recordings last up to three minutes; World Pass recordings last up to ten. Keep & share also records a short film of the scene.
Is DevPause scientifically proven to improve health or productivity?
DevPause has not been tested as a health or productivity intervention. Its research library reports published study methods, sample sizes, results, and limitations. Interactive physics models illustrate equations; their exports are simulation data, separate from published human-study summary data.
Does DevPause work on phones and tablets?
The interface supports desktop, tablet, and mobile layouts, touch controls, and keyboard access. The 3D world requires WebGL 2. Recording, floating tab controls, and on-device AI are optional browser capabilities. Timers and public reading pages have simpler fallbacks.
