Interactive simulation of a physically accurate O'Neill cylinder

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

A developer built a walkable, browser-based simulation of an O'Neill cylinder — the rotating space habitat concept — aiming for physical accuracy in how the spinning habitat works, and shared it online. The project was created with the help of the AI assistant Claude, and readers are discussing how well the model captures the real physics of artificial gravity and life inside such a cylinder.

Why now: People are interested in an accessible, walkable demo of classic space habitat physics, made notable by being built with AI assistance.
