Shaderfun
Turn your screen into a living light installation. Thirty original GLSL artworks fill the display, with a gallery on your phone to choose the atmosphere and make it your own.
Thirty worlds

Get started
Open Shaderfun on your display. It begins playing immediately and rotates through all thirty artworks every minute. Scan the QR invitation with your phone to open Shaderfun Control in the same room. Existing RCWeb controllers follow when you launch the app from Back to apps.
One or more phones can control the shared display. Additional displays in the room follow the same settings. A screen must remain open for phone control to work.
Set the mood
Tap a gallery thumbnail to select an artwork immediately. Tick the top-right checkbox inside each thumbnail to choose the artworks for continuous play, or use Include all to restore the complete collection. Keep at least one selected. Automatic rotation and Next follow your selection in gallery order; you can still tap an excluded artwork to play it immediately. Changing the selection does not interrupt the current artwork. Your loop selection is saved with your room preferences and shared across controllers. When new artworks are added, a complete collection loop expands automatically; custom selections stay as you chose them.
Adjust motion from 0.25× to 2×, brightness and colour shift. Pause to hold a frame. Automatic rotation can change scenes every 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes or 5 minutes; switch it off to keep your favourite. Pause also pauses the rotation timer.
Show or hide the artwork title and QR invitation independently. The QR panel can sit in any corner. Your preferences are remembered by the display browser for this room when browser storage is available.
On the display
Move the mouse or touch the screen to reveal the toolbar. It includes pause, next, hide/show overlays and a fullscreen icon. Fullscreen requires a tap or click on the display. Press Space to pause, Right arrow for the next shader, or F for fullscreen. Controls fade after a few seconds of inactivity.
Quality
Adaptive balances sharpness and smooth motion separately for each artwork. Use it on older TVs: lighter scenes can render more pixels, while detailed scenes keep enough headroom for smooth animation. Low power sets a fixed lower resolution. High detail favours sharpness and needs a faster GPU. The display must support WebGL. If graphics are interrupted, the app offers a retry while RCWeb remains available for switching apps. Frame rate depends on the display and browser.
