- mlindner 4y agoThe noise used in the toy isn't very pleasing to the ears.
- Zisko 4y agoAdd a seizure warning to this please! There is no indication that clicking to proceed will cause flashing and moving lights.
- kylecazar 4y agoThis just gave me an idea for a browser extension.
- cal85 4y agoHow would that work?
- faeyanpiraat 4y agoThe screen would flash anytime you clicked with your mouse.
- smegsicle 4y agoand also whenever you least expect it
- andsoitis 4y agoHow common is photosensitive epilepsy? This is when seizures are triggered by certain rates of flashing lights or contrasting light and dark patterns. Around 1 in 100 people has epilepsy and of these people, around 3% have photosensitive epilepsy. Photosensitive epilepsy is more common in children and young people (up to 5%) and is less commonly diagnosed after the age of 20.

- retrocryptid 4y agoCommon enough.
- cma 4y agoI wonder if a much better solution than warnings would be something at the OS level analyzing the screen and fading out contrast or something any time it detects flashing patterns that could trigger epilepsy.
- mikecsh 4y agoiOS has recently added that feature for video sources https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/ios-16-4-beta-how-to-automatically-dim-video-when-flashes-of-light-are-detected/ https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/ios-16-4-beta-how-to-automa...
- miked85 4y agoI think much more common after one visits this site.
- TeMPOraL 4y agoSo 3% of 1% is... 3 in 10 000, or 1 in ~3.5k people. That's... much more widespread than I'd suspect.
- graypegg 4y agoI immediately thought about that, my first go at it started with a big glitchy rapidly-flashing ball right in the middle of the screen. (Not sure if it should be like that? iOS safari, iOS16.0) Kind of the worst case scenario.
- canto 4y agoAnd a mute button.
- coley 4y agoOdd that the music only kicks in for me after I tab away. When I tab back, the music stops.
- WirelessGigabit 4y agoFor me the audio stutters when I look at it, but it plays smoothly when I am in a different tab.
- polynomial 4y agoSame.
- amarant 4y agoThere's music? I didn't get any at all! I guess that explains why I couldn't understand the point of this... For a while I thought it was just a kinda cool but nothing special particle effect, and wondered what it was even doing on the HN front-page. OP:I dunno what the issue is but I didn't get any sound on Android. Might be a bug in your page. Sorry for the detail-free bug report.
- capableweb 4y agoI was just gonna write the same thing. First I opened it in Firefox, which works fine for a couple of seconds, then the audio glitches out. Then I decided to try Chrome, as many of these "toys" are ever only tried in Chrome, but then this happened instead.
- devteambravo 4y agoHumans exploring space
- ptzolov 4y agoI don't get it
- malikNF 4y agoHelped me to have my headphones on.
- SubiculumCode 4y agoits neat, but I was left wondering if it was interactive, a movie, etc.
- MyFirstSass 4y agoThis was amazing to me for some weird reason. The synths especially.
- spire234 4y agovery cool
