Animated Text in Voxel Space
Key topics
The web is abuzz with an animated text experiment in voxel space, sparking debate over its compatibility and technical merits. Some commenters were quick to point out that it doesn't work on Firefox or Safari on the latest iOS, prompting a tongue-in-cheek remark about being "ahead of its time" due to a joking reference to a non-existent iOS 26. The author revealed that the decision to use WebGPU is behind the compatibility issues, but it's expected to improve post-Apple keynote. As users explored the animation, some were inspired to create their own content, with one commenter envisioning custom opening credits for the film 'Enter the Void'.
