This is my second Vibe Coding experiment, initiated in 2026. Like the Purikura project, it remains an exploratory practice.
It began with phenakistoscope posts on social media. This recalled the 2021 Gcores Booom game jam, where I illustrated several phenakistoscope disks for the project "Time is an Illusion." I remain highly satisfied with those pieces; the team designer described them at the time as "so good they make you cry."
The design emerged intuitively. Referencing physical CD players and Braun design principles, I modeled a virtual phenakistoscope projector in a single day. Interactive motion was implemented in Rive.
Mere playback seemed dull. Thus, I engineered a new interaction: capturing 10 consecutive sector photos to stitch into a complete phenakistoscope prototype. Finally, I hand-illustrated three custom frames. Following the same animation logic, these frames overlay dynamic effects onto the captured sequence.
