Weisdevice: A Glitchy Three.js Island With a Playable DJ Deck

Wei's portfolio drops you on a tiny island with a half-broken robot, a Gameboy, and a DJ deck that refuses to play clean loops. Three.js with GLSL and GSAP up top, smart performance choices underneath: raycasting at 30 FPS, render loop paused on inactive views, assets tiny and lazy-loaded.

BlueYard: A Two-Color WebGL Atlas by Unseen Studio

Unseen Studio rebuilt BlueYard around Buckminster Fuller, a fluid-simulated orb, and a beautiful color palette. Three.js under the hood, reactive cursor, four thematic zones to scroll through. Worth opening devtools on.

A Paper Tear, a Hand-Drawn Corridor, and Sketches That Finish Themselves

A sheet of paper rips open and drops you into a hand-drawn corridor where pencil-sketched frames paint themselves in as you walk up to them. The kind of small site that rewards a slow look around.

Hydra: A Livecoded Video Synth Built on WebGL Framebuffers

Olivia Jack's Hydra turns the browser into a modular video synth. Chain oscillators, kaleidoscopes, and webcam feeds into recursive GLSL patches, then pipe the output to another browser over WebRTC. Type a function, hit Ctrl+Enter, watch the pixels misbehave.

Find Your Way to Oz: The 2013 Chrome Experiment

UNIT9 built a full Kansas carnival in WebGL for Disney, then destroyed it with a tornado shader borrowed from neuroscience. No physics engine. No framework. Just clever faking, spatial audio, and a three-month deadline. The source is open.

Penderecki's Garden: A Point-Cloud Memorial Built Using Photogrammetry

Huncwot turned billions of drone-captured particles into a navigable WebGL garden for composer Krzysztof Penderecki. Custom GLSL shaders breathe with the music. Fully keyboard-accessible. One of the most ambitious Three.js projects we've seen.

Earthquake Pulse Map: A Century of Seismic Activity on a WebGL Globe

A Three.js globe plotting 120+ years of major earthquakes with custom GLSL shaders, binary-packed data, and live USGS feeds. Spin, zoom, and scrub through time. The tectonic boundaries light up whether you're ready or not.

Kiomet: A Real-Time Multiplayer Strategy Game Built With Rust and WebGL

Kiomet drops you into a live hex-grid battlefield with dozens of players, 27 tower types, and zero installs. The whole stack is Rust compiled to WebAssembly, rendered through WebGL with custom GLSL shaders. Open source and running in a browser tab.

gpu-curtains: A WebGPU 3D Engine That Syncs Shaders to Your DOM

Martin Laxenaire rebuilt his DOM-to-shader library for WebGPU, and this time it's a full 3D engine. Lights, shadows, compute shaders, glTF support, and the same trick that made curtains.js useful: your HTML elements become shader geometry that scrolls and resizes like native DOM.

curtains.js: DOM-Driven WebGL Textured Planes

Martin Laxenaire's lightweight WebGL library that converts HTML elements into shader-driven textured planes positioned exactly where your CSS says they should be. Write normal markup, add shaders, skip the coordinate math.

Gush: Webcam Optical Flow Feedback in WebGL

Adam Ferriss takes the Horn-Schunck optical flow algorithm, wraps it in feedback loops, and lets your webcam feed melt into psychedelic color trails. Move your face, click your mouse, watch the pixels remember where you've been.

Expeditione: A 1MB Landing Page and 4MB Educational Experience Built in Three.js

Stylized 3D dioramas that teach history, geography, and science. The landing page runs at 1MB. The Soil expedition packs 200+ images, 15+ models, and 10+ animations into 4MB. Vanilla Three.js, custom GLSL, zero ads. Proof that educational web experiences don't need to be bloated.

Tendrils: Emergent WebGL Particle Visuals

Tendrils is a WebGL demo by Eoghan O’Keeffe that turns particles into living, fluid forms. Driven by GPU shaders and user input (audio, webcam, touch), it’s both interactive art and a tech deep-dive.
