Ohtaka D-900 Professional

A machine that opens up as you scroll.

The site, live

The real site, inside the frame: scroll it to explore. Move off the frame to carry on reading this page.

A sequence, not a video
238 rendered views, plus 180 more in exploded form, called one by one by the scroll position. Nothing plays and nothing pauses: the machine follows the gesture exactly.
Eight chapters
Front shell, cassette, transport buttons, head and capstan, flywheel and belt, circuit board, motor, rear shell. Titles hand over by a fade, never by a slide.
A style measured, not invented
It comes from an existing reference read pixel by pixel before the first line of CSS: cream canvas, one width-axis grotesque in three voices, a single amber accent.
The voice of a catalogue
Condensed uppercase labels, one-pixel rules, a specification table. The page reads like technical documentation, not like a sales page.
An order coupon
It ends the way those catalogues ended: a form to fill in, an address, a price.
No framework
One HTML file, its CSS and its script. No library, no build step.

Where does the style come from?: From a charter read off an existing reference, then applied: cream canvas, a width-axis grotesque, one-pixel rules, a single amber accent. The reading is kept alongside the site.
What language is the site in?: English.
Does the site work on a phone?: Yes, the layout adapts. The preview on this page only loads from a desktop screen: a desktop site shrunk onto a phone would no longer read.
