Show HN: 3D Conformal Transformations via Geometric Algebra

Inspired by this great talk by Hamish Todd about Conformal Geometric Algebra [1] I felt the urge to play with those conformal transformations myself and to learn more about geometric algebra.In the original talk Hamish shows many interactive visualizations to make a point about properties of conformal transformations and their representation via Geometric Algebra.My goal was to reverse engineer these visualizations just from the snippets shown in the talk.I find the result very satisfying to play around with. [2] As educational tool it provides some good intuition for conformal transformations and their composition.
I hope some of you might enjoy it as well, especially after watching the original talk by Hamish Todd.On the technical side it is built on Threlte (Svelte+ThreeJS) and mostly handwritten with AI only being used for trying and debugging some shader code performance optimizations.1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3as9SGmDdw
