Aurora Veil
Produce a single self-contained index.html — A self-contained WebGL2 hero: layered aurora light curtains warped over a night sky scattered with stars; move the cursor to sway the veil.
Why this is a powered artifact
OpenDesign detects getContext('webgl2') / heavy WebGL and renders this file in powered preview (a cross-origin-isolated iframe). The full GPU + scroll pipeline runs; no opaque-sandbox workarounds are needed.

FAQ
What is WebGL2?
It's a way to draw complex graphics and animations directly in your web browser, using your graphics card's power.
Do I need to install anything to see the animation?
No, everything works directly in the browser. You just need an HTML file containing the code.
Can I change the aurora's colors?
The original code doesn't make it easy to change colors, but a programmer could adapt it to do so.
