``` ## How to Use This Seastead Visualization 1. **View the 3D Model**: The seastead is displayed with its tensegrity structure, legs, and thrusters. 2. **Camera Controls**: - Use the mouse to rotate, zoom, and pan the view - Or use the control panel sliders for precise camera control - Click view buttons for front, side, top, or isometric views 3. **Seastead Controls**: - Adjust the leg angle to change how they spread outward - Change leg submersion percentage (default is 60%) - Toggle visibility of cables, thrusters, and water surface 4. **Animations**: - Click "Animate Leg Movement" to see the legs move dynamically - Click "Animate Thrusters" to see the RIM drives pulse - Use "Stop Animation" to halt any active animations ## Key Features of the Visualization 1. **Tensegrity Structure**: Shows the cables connecting the leg ends and to the body underside 2. **Wing-shaped Legs**: Each leg has an aerodynamic wing profile 3. **RIM Drive Thrusters**: Positioned on the widest part of each leg wing 4. **Water Surface**: Represents the ocean with legs partially submerged 5. **Interactive Controls**: Adjust all key parameters of the design The model accurately represents your described seastead design with a 60-foot body, 35-foot legs at 45-degree angles, and 8 RIM drive thrusters. The tensegrity cable system is shown connecting the structure elements as specified.
