Glass hero
A piece of clear glass in front of the headline, bending the letters behind it. Six pieces of glass over one headline, each bending it its own way: a thick lens, a cut crystal, a prism, a reeded panel, a rod and a ring. Choosing one sends the piece on show out to one side while the next glides in across the words from the other.

How it behaves
- It changes piece on its own until someone chooses.
- The glass leans towards the pointer and drifts with it.
- The lens magnifies the letters under it, the reeded panel cuts them into strips, the rod mirrors them.
How it is made
- three.js transmission: the type is drawn first, then bent through the glass.
- Dispersion splits the edges into colour, as cut glass does.
- The reflections come from a small studio built in code, with neutral lights and no photograph.
