When to use it
- ✓To decorate your website with a unique look.
- ✓To create an interesting background animation.
- ✓To experiment with a digital art effect.

How it works
It uses advanced graphics technology (WebGL2) that runs directly in the browser. When you move the mouse, the code adjusts the movement and shape of the dots to create the animation.

Halftone Drift
Produce a single self-contained index.html — A self-contained WebGL2 hero: a flowing field screened through a rotated halftone dot grid into a duotone print aesthetic; move the cursor to bend the drift.
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.
