About

ElectronTrail is an interactive, scientifically grounded 3D journey through an analog CRT television that runs entirely in the browser. Follow the electron signal stage by stage, from the wall plug to the finished picture on the screen.

You travel along the signal path in 3D, stopping at each stage to see what happens and why. ElectronTrail covers the real analog broadcast standards PAL, NTSC and SECAM and explains how they differ, so the abstract idea of a video signal becomes something you can watch take shape.

The app is fully bilingual (English and Polish), runs in any modern browser, needs no account and uses no trackers.

Key Features

Plug to Picture in 3D

Follow the signal from the wall plug to the picture on the screen, stage by stage, rendered in interactive 3D you can explore at your own pace.

02

Stage by Stage Signal Path

Each stop along the electron trail explains one part of the chain, so the path from broadcast to moving image stays clear and grounded.

03

PAL, NTSC and SECAM

Covers the three real analog broadcast standards and shows how they differ in the way they carry colour and timing.

04

Scientifically Grounded

Built to reflect how analog CRT television actually works, keeping the explanations honest rather than oversimplified.
