## What it is

A counter drawn with slash marks fills the screen before the 'a' logo appears as an iridescent glass ring. As you scroll, the ring turns over the 'Creative Digital Experiences' title, and a small menu with arrows switches between projects like Prometheus, Kandinsky and Racer.

## What it’s for

For someone who works on 3D web experiences and wants to see how far a whole home page built in WebGL can go.

## Benefits

- logo becomes a glass object that reacts to scroll
- particle cloud gives the background depth
- switch projects with arrows without leaving the scene

## Caveats

- Heavy: it needs a good graphics card and takes a few seconds to load.
- It has a soundtrack; the audio toggle is at the top.
