Accessibility

The canvas is decorative and hidden from assistive technology. Keep important content in children and provide a pause control for continuous animation. Reduced motion renders a static frame; unsupported WebGL retains the styled container and content.

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.
  • The flowing field uses broad folds with narrow illuminated rims. Pointer interaction adds subtle parallax.
  • Visual idea inspired by Plasma from React Bits (MIT + Commons Clause). Independently implemented for Gaudi; no React Bits source, shaders or assets are included.
PointerA pointer effect scoped to its container, with direct, spring and lazy tracking, hover feedback, and native input fallbacks.DirectionScopes text direction for Gaudi controls that need directional keyboard and placement behavior.AeroShardsFaceted shards flow through a curved stream in layers of depth. Hold the pointer to gather the stream, then release to unfurl it.AuroraTheme-aware Aurora light curtains, with a Soft Aurora variant that forms a narrow glowing ribbon.CRTWarpCoarse phosphor cells form evolving plasma shapes beneath fine scanlines, analog grain, and local pointer distortion.DarkVeilBroad illuminated folds drift across a dark surface, with sharp creases and deep intervening shadows.
