Memory Palace 3D for Obsidian

Transform your notes into a navigable 3D Memory Palace. This plugin uses Three.js (CSS3DRenderer) to render your Markdown notes into a structure of interconnected rooms, allowing you to visualize your knowledge as a physical 3D space.

🚀 Key Features

  • Spatial Architecture: Visualize your notes structured into "rooms".

  • Interactivity: Navigate your notes directly in the 3D environment; internal links ([[WikiLinks]]) and embedded images are fully clickable.

  • Customization: Configure the distance between levels and the visual behavior of images on walls.

  • Intuitive Navigation: FPS-style controls (WASD) to explore your knowledge.


🛠️ Usage Guide

The plugin automatically detects sections marked as ## Room within your notes.

Note Syntax

Each room is defined with a ## Room header and a list of properties. You can add simple Markdown text or even images.

## Room : The Room Title
- color: #3498db
- front: ![[Example image.png]]
- back: Notes on this topic.
- up: Top wall with content.
- down: Bottom wall.
- left: [[Related note]]
- right: Content on the right.
- content: This is the floating central object in the middle of the room.

  • color: Defines the background color of the room walls (valid CSS format).

  • **front, back, up, down, left, right**: Defines the content for each face of the cube.

  • content: Inserts a floating element in the center of the room.

  • You can attach a note to an image like this:

[[YourNote]](![[YourImage.png]])
  • The plugin supports Zotflow links and Excalidraw diagrams.

⌨️ Navigation Controls

Once the "Memory Palace 3D" panel is open, use the following controls:

ActionControl
MoveW, A, S, D
Zoom (In/Out)Mouse Wheel (Scroll)
Rotate ViewShift + Mouse Move
Center/ResetQ

⚙️ Plugin Settings

You can adjust the rendering behavior in the plugin settings:

  • Distance between rooms: Defines the separation (on the Z axis) between each level of the palace. A higher value creates a longer corridor.

  • Full wall images:

  • Enabled: Embedded images will stretch to occupy 100% of the wall face (ideal for backgrounds).

  • Disabled: Images maintain their original aspect ratio and are presented as elements within the wall.

🛠️ Developer Notes

This plugin is built using:

  • Obsidian API: For file management and Markdown rendering[cite: 2, 3].

  • Three.js (CSS3DRenderer): For 3D projection of DOM elements.

  • TypeScript (Strict Mode): To ensure stability and correct typing of interactions.
