overlay / overlay-demo

Shader Overlay Demo

Transparent premultiplied GLSL widgets over live HTML. Select text, click buttons through the canvas — pointer-events pass straight through.

overlay / overlay-merkaba

Merkaba Overlay

Rotating merkaba wireframe with accent glow. Premultiplied alpha composites cleanly on any background.

overlay / overlay-halo

Halo Overlay

Triple-ring halo with comet sweep. Pointer-tracked spin, fully transparent outside the glow.

reel / wide-frame

Wide Frame

Eleven cinematic studies — sand sea, greenwood, borealis sky, cloud deck, canyon lands, orbital, deep nebula, event horizon, chroma flow, phosphor, and signal geometry. Modular lib pipeline, dual sliders, flight mode, audio-reactive (file or mic).
