Laser Labyrinth

Volumetric laser beams crossing in a dark void with prismatic colors and intersection flares.

What is Laser Labyrinth?

Laser Labyrinth is a free WebGL web effect in the TappyPrism library. Volumetric laser beams crossing in a dark void with prismatic colors and intersection flares. 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 (laser-labyrinth.html) with zero dependencies — no npm package, no framework, no build step. It exposes 2 live parameters — Sweep Speed, Beam Intensity — adjustable in the browser or at runtime.
