Choose the cards. Read the pattern between them.

DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM / 02

PHYSICAL SELECTION.
STRUCTURED INTERPRETATION.

TAROT is a Next.js and TypeScript experience with a React interface and a Three.js card table. The browser owns the deck, shuffle, selected cards and orientations; the server rebuilds trusted card meaning before requesting an AI interpretation.

WHAT MADE THE BUILD DIFFERENT

Card choice remains a direct user action. The interpretation endpoint accepts identifiers rather than client-authored meanings, validates the spread and reconstructs canonical data on the server before contacting the model.

THE EXPERIENCE / 02

TAROT is the Sun X Project page for Veil & Arcana, an English-language, AI-assisted Major Arcana reading experience. Visitors choose a spread, deck and card back, select their own cards on a cinematic 3D table, then receive a structured OpenAI interpretation with optional OpenAI or ElevenLabs narration.

KEY FEATURES

01Four one-, three- and five-card reading spreads

02Two available Major Arcana decks and five card-back designs

03Local shuffle, card selection and upright or reversed orientation

VEIL & ARCANA / MAJOR ARCANA / AI-ASSISTED READING

THE CARDS
STAY IN YOUR HANDS.

Veil & Arcana is an English-language Major Arcana experience built around a direct ritual: choose a spread, choose the physical deck and card back, then shuffle and select the cards yourself on a cinematic table.

The AI enters only after the selection is complete. It interprets the validated cards and positions, shows its model and response reference, and can narrate the finished reading through a selectable voice provider.

THE TABLE / 01

ENTER.
SHUFFLE.
CHOOSE.

The scene is deliberately quiet before the first card moves. A layered reader portrait responds subtly to the pointer while the Three.js table keeps shuffling, selection, dealing and reveal inside one continuous space.

The reading begins with a physical action, not a generated answer.

THE TABLE / BEFORE THE DRAW

The selected spread waits on the table until the visitor chooses to shuffle the deck.

REAL PRODUCT CAPTURE / DESKTOP

CARD SELECTION / THREE-CARD SPREAD

A physical fan of card backs keeps the final draw under the visitor’s control.

THE DRAW / 02

TRUST THE
FIRST PULL.

The browser owns the deck order, chosen cards and upright or reversed orientation. Daily, Current Situation, Past–Present–Future and two-option Decision spreads provide one-, three- and five-card structures without changing who makes the selection.

THE INTERPRETATION / 03

VALIDATED CARDS.
A NEW READING.

The server accepts card, orientation and position identifiers, validates the spread and rebuilds canonical meanings from trusted project data before contacting OpenAI. The resulting overview, per-card interpretation, synthesis and reflection remain tied to the exact draw.
