3D Asch Conformity Room Simulator

3D reconstruction of Solomon Asch's conformity experiment: a horseshoe of confederate figures unanimously calls out the wrong answer while a subject wavers, with a live 3D bar chart tracking the real published conformity rate by group size.

This 3D reconstruction places you inside Solomon Asch's 1951 conformity room: a horseshoe of confederate figures faces a display board, and one by one they call out the same obviously wrong comparison line before the lone subject — standing at the end of the row — must give an answer. The subject's posture and colour visibly waver as the group's unanimous pressure builds, and the outcome of each trial is sampled from Asch's own published error rates for the selected group size, not an invented probability. A bank of floating bars behind the room renders that published curve in three dimensions, with a marker tracking the bar for whatever group size you have dialled in, so you can watch the live simulation converge on real experimental data as trials accumulate.

⚙ Under the hood

A horseshoe of 3D instanced figures around a subject shows conformity, with a floating bar chart displaying the published curve.
