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

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

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