Show HN: Voyager Golden Record Simulator

1 point

7 years ago

Some time ago I was trying to find a place where I could see/hear all of the images/audio encoded on the Voyager Golden Records[1]. I was able to find subsets of the media, but nothing comprehensive apart from one book/CD combo that was long out of print, and it was hard to find with a working CD.

Over the years I collected the bits and pieces until I had everything, and I put them together in this simulator so others can enjoy all of the media in one place:

I also wanted to see if I could realistically render a spinning record, and I think it turned out pretty well.
