Unbreak
Unbreak.
Core trick
Rebuilds a crash from video as a 3D physics simulation, then proposes a 75 cm launch-lane offset that avoids the collision.
Description
Unbreak. Your turn to change the ending.
Two cars. One spectacular collision.
Normally, you watch it happen. Maybe watch it again.
But what if you wanted a different ending—both cars landing?
With Unbreak, a video becomes a world you can experiment with.
Argon watches the footage and recreates the setup in 3D. The crash replays in simulation.
Then Argon watches from the side and above. It spots the problem: both cars on the same line.
Its suggestion? Move one launch lane. Just seventy-five centimeters.
Watch what happens.
Same cars. Same speed. Same timing. This time, both land.
For makers, that means testing an idea in simulation before you rebuild it for real.
