Hi! This is my little project introducing quasicrystals animations with some parameters. It uses a custom shader to allow higher resolution.

Not all combinations look equally good. For example the "Spectrum" color palette IMO makes sense only for low values of "Tempo" and "Pattern Density".

If you have VR googles, I recommend trying the WebXR version - it's really nice.

You need to put a disclaimer for photosensitive people, probably as a gate to the animation starting using a popup or something!

This can probably trigger seizures

Thank you for your comment. I haven't thought about it. You are right. I will add a disclaimer and start with the animation paused.

Nice visualizations, but can you provide a little more context at what we're looking at?

I think I will write an article on the topic, but for now if you search for "quasicrystals" on HN you should get a lot of context :)

Have you considered adding binaural beats to induce altered brain frequencies? Something like https://github.com/synapseq-foundation/synapseq

This was thought as a purely visual experience, but of course adding another modality is tempting. I want do develop the project as new ideas appear, so who knows :)
