🎬three-dimensional visualization of the cross product and the property of orthogonality

This demonstration provides a clear visual and numerical proof of the fundamental geometric property of the cross product: the resulting vector SS (blue) is always strictly orthogonal (perpendicular) to both of the two input vectors, v1v_1 (red) and v2v_2 (green). The animation dynamically shows the blue vector maintaining its perpendicular relationship to the everchanging plane defined by the red and green vectors. This visual confirmation is reinforced by the mathematical proof, as the script calculates that the dot products Sβ‹…v1S \cdot v_1 and Sβ‹…v2S \cdot v_2 consistently remain zero, while the dot product with an arbitrary third vector v3v_3 (purple) fluctuates, underscoring that the orthogonality is an intrinsic result of the cross product operation itself.
