Hologram Glitch

Abstract holographic texture with chromatic aberration, scanlines, and controlled glitch bursts.

What is Hologram Glitch?

Hologram Glitch is a free WebGL web effect in the TappyPrism library. Abstract holographic texture with chromatic aberration, scanlines, and controlled glitch bursts. It is rendered on the GPU by a fragment shader, so it costs almost nothing on the CPU and works well as a full-screen background. It ships as a single self-contained HTML file (hologram-glitch.html) with zero dependencies — no npm package, no framework, no build step. It exposes 2 live parameters — Glitch Intensity, Scan Speed — adjustable in the browser or at runtime.
