  • there are very strong graphical glitches on iOS, it looks like every other fragment isn’t being rendered or something based on the camera angle

    could the author clarify what we should be seeing or what the point of this is?

  • What is a splat? What is the significance of this website?

  • the default effect reminds me of Vercel

    don't know what to think about that

  • Cannot adjust focus and aperture when looking at the photo. Am I doing something wrong?

  • Camera parameters seem to only affect the final "Flow" visualisation

  • It would be pretty cool if it could convert a splat to a super compact high performance 3D ASCII widget

  • Looks cool. Weird there's no "About" or a link to a landing page on this product.

  • I have no clue what this is or why I'm supposed to look at it.

  • I'm not entirely sure all of what this is supposed to do, but its a cool splat visualisation, at any rate

  • I'm looking at this on Brave Android and I see a very dark butterfly made out of square gridlines. I think it's much less impressive than what I'm supposed to see, because I saw several loading messages at the bottom, but when they completed, nothing visibly changed.

  • Try dragging it around.

  • Same here, on iPhone tried with safari, Orion, and Firefox, all basically the same.

  • If you click the splat-looking render mode, it looks more normal.

    It defaults to a shader on top of the raw visualizaiont that uses a bad glyph, almost like it's making an ASCII art.
