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.

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.

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

Try dragging it around.

The lines of dots move, but they stay sparse and dim. Something's definitely wrong. I tried it in Firefox and Chrome on Android.

There are some screenshots of what it's supposed to look like here: https://github.com/rioharper/Inkfield

Videos too: https://github.com/rioharper/Inkfield#camera-motion-and-expo...

The videos don’t seem to load for me. On iPhone/ios, tried safari Orion, Firefox.

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

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

Documentation seems to be here https://github.com/rioharper/Inkfield

Error on firefox: downloadable font: download failed (font-family: "IBM Plex Sans" style:normal weight:400 stretch:100 src index:0): status=2147746065 source: https://www.inkfield.studio/fonts/IBMPlexSans-Regular.woff2

Works for me, Firefox 152.0.4 on macOS 27 beta3.

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

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

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

the default effect reminds me of Vercel

don't know what to think about that

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

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?
