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

- 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

- 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.by esperent

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

by Modified3019 - If you click the splat-looking render mode, it looks more normal.
