Flowmap engine

Your pointer writes its velocity into a small ping-pong texture. That trail fades frame by frame, and every display pass reads it — warping UVs, splitting colour channels and smearing frames into each other. Rest the pointer and the trail keeps wandering on its own. One script, three presets: image-distort, text-smear, hover-reveal.

01 image-distort — drag the pointer across the plate
02 text-smear — the headline is drawn in GL; the DOM text stays for screen readers

Motion you can feel before you name it.

03 hover-reveal — hover a panel: borders melt, the grade opens up
