Turn photos into oscillating wave animations -- just upload a picture, then drag the sliders to adjust the waves that are used to manipulate the image

You can control the sine wave frequency and amplitude in both X/Y directions. You can create a video export to save and/or share your animation afterwards.

This project was inspired by analog oscilloscope art. I've long been a fan of wavy liquid patterns, and wanted to try my hand at coding a digital version.

Project is open-sourced on github: https://github.com/collidingScopes/shimmer

I've also uploaded several animation outputs on my instagram account: @stereo.drift
