Real refraction
Not a blur. A displacement map baked from Snell’s law bends light through a convex bevel, so the glass genuinely lenses whatever sits behind it.
About Isle
An island of real glass.
Isle is a study in Liquid Glass — an experiment in making the web bend light the way Apple’s material does. Every surface is genuine refraction composited from first principles, springing, drifting, and adapting to the footage playing behind it.
A living island
Tap the capsule and it springs open into a player with a true overshoot — the same spring that drives the iPhone’s Dynamic Island.
Hand-held lens
Grab the glass puck, fling it, and watch it bounce off the walls while it fisheyes the cinematic scene drifting underneath.
