Dispatches from the testing lab — interface concepts, three.js experiments, and interactions that have no business on a normal website. Nothing here is shipped. Handle with care.
Real-time liquid metal.
A displacement field solved on the GPU every single frame — no video, no baking. Grab it and drag. It's recomputing the surface as you move.
↳ drag to rotate · the mesh is deforming live
We render WebGL to a text terminal.
A fully lit, spinning 3D scene — sampled into ASCII characters in real time. It has no reason to exist, which is precisely why it does.
↳ every character is a lighting sample, ~30× a second
220 agents. Zero choreography.
Each one obeys three rules — separate, align, cohere — and a flock nobody designed assembles itself. The web, but alive. Run your cursor through it.
↳ move your cursor to herd the swarm
What comes after the screen?
Predictive, ambient, instrumented — telemetry you feel before you read it.

↳ concept render · not a real control surface
3,600 cubes. One draw call.
A GPU-instanced field — every cube is one object the card never sends to the GPU twice. The wave is solved on the CPU and the surface ripples toward your cursor.
↳ move your cursor to push the wave · drag to orbit
An object with no geometry.
There is no mesh here. Every pixel marches a ray through a distance field until it hits a surface that's defined by math, not vertices — five metaballs melting into one. Drag to orbit it.
↳ drag to rotate · the shape exists only in the shader
// you're already caught
Every thread leads here.
// the trap
We don’t design pages.
We set traps.
// the bite
Code that bites back.
// end_of_transmission
These never ship. They become the parts that do.
Every experiment here is a muscle we flex on real client work — the web hero, the case-study motion, the things that make people stop scrolling. Want some of it pointed at your build?
