Show HN: Splash – Fractal zooming with a paint brush as video encoding
26 May 2021
What started as a simple project to explore advanced javascript optimisations turned into something really big.
It gave deeper insight in how we perceive motion and how our mind, brain and eyes play a role.
Expanding the possibilities beyond zooming through procedural generated content, I was really interested in applying the knowledge to real-live imagery and motion.
I’m really proud of the results [0]: the “zoomer” engine [1] including API for custom content, and the “splash” codec [2] including an FFmpeg codec implementation.
Enjoy!
