Accessibility

The canvas is decorative and hidden from assistive technology; children remain accessible. Reduced motion shows a still frame, and unavailable graphics use a static color fallback. Provide a visible pause control when motion continues beside meaningful content. Keep text contrast independent of the moving artwork.

Notes

  • The playground layers a Gaudi header, hero and working documentation links above the effect. The Demo content switch hides only this foreground; canvas size, animation phase and pause state are retained.
  • Smooth, asymmetric sheets gather light along their creases and remain dark on the opposite side.
  • Visual idea inspired by Dark Veil from React Bits (MIT + Commons Clause). Independently implemented for Gaudi; no React Bits code or assets are included.
