The consolation image entirely made up for the fact that this doesn't run on my phone.

The usual WebGL demos that never match native experience.

My mobile devices do OpenGL ES 3.0 and 3.1, none of them runs the demo.

Floating point textures seem to be a particular weak point with WebGL on mobile devices. I don't understand why, though, as the devices I looked at actually support them with native apps (they're in the ES3 spec), but not with WebGL.

Yeah.

"Your platform does not support float textures. This demo won't run in your browser."

Doesn't run on mine as well, something about float textures
