I think it's just a technological show piece, basically built on top of open source libraries and a couple of algorithms.

Author here, you're mostly right in that it's a show piece. However, it uses no external libraries, I built it all myself using VanillaJS. I do use some famous noise algorithms, specifically Simplex noise and a method of domain warping.
