About

This app is designed to create an interactive visual experience using WebGL technology. It features a canvas that displays a text distortion effect, which responds dynamically to mouse movements. The primary purpose of the app is to showcase a unique visual effect where text appears to distort and magnify based on the user's cursor position, providing an engaging and immersive interaction. To use the app, users simply need to navigate to the web page where it is hosted. Once the page loads, they can move their mouse over the canvas area to see the text distortion effect in action. The app is responsive and adjusts the canvas size based on the user's screen dimensions, ensuring a consistent experience across different devices. The app is built using TypeScript and React, leveraging the Next.js framework for server-side rendering and routing. It utilizes WebGL for rendering graphics, allowing for complex visual effects such as texture mapping and shader programming. The app incorporates custom shaders written in GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) to achieve the distortion effects, including features like iridescence, scanlines, phosphor glow, and vignette effects. Key features of the app include: - Interactive text distortion that responds to mouse movements. - Dynamic resizing of the canvas based on the viewport size. - Custom shaders for advanced visual effects. - A fallback mechanism to ensure consistent text display even if the special text cannot be rendered. - Touch support for mobile devices, allowing users to interact with the canvas using touch gestures.
