Tabiverse is a procedurally generated universe in your browser new tab. Every time you open a new tab, you are teleported to a procedural planet in space with random terrains, oceans, atmosphere, and biomes. The random planets, stars, gas giants, and asteroids provide you an infinite number of 3D space themed wallpaper for your new tab. Since every planet is rendered in 3D, the space wallpapers are interactive! You are able to move the camera freely to explore the planets in space. Each planet in space comes with its own unique name and stats such as temperature and habitability.

Currently, there are three types of celestial space object in the Tabiverse: planets, stars, gas giants, and asteroids. Each space object might have a ring or moons. We are adding more space objects such as black holes and space anomalies very soon. You are also able to save and share your planet coordinates with your friends so that they can explore the same planets. More features such as an account system and multiplayer are also in the works.
