Experiments

Interactive demos, 3D experiments, WebGL explorations, and creative coding projects. None of these are products — they're proofs of concept, learning artifacts, and things that were too interesting not to build.

R3FRapier PhysicsGSAP

Headley Web 3D

Physics-driven word cloud with rigid-body collision. Words scatter, stack, and settle under gravity.

GSAPThree.jsWebGLWeb Audio

Convergence

Flagship experiment — synchronized audio, particle geometry, and scroll-driven camera movement.

Three.jsSpring PhysicsBloom

Stardust Enhanced

Cursor-reactive particle field with spring attraction, bloom post-processing, and depth of field.

Three.jsAttraction Physics

Stardust Gravity

N-body gravitational attraction. Each particle pulls on every other. Watch them orbit.

GSAP ScrollTrigger

Editorial Parallax

Multi-layer parallax editorial layout. Scroll-pinned sections, image depth, and kinetic typography.

R3F3D Globe

Globe Locator

Interactive 3D globe with pin placement, arc animations, and location lookups.

GSAP ScrollTriggerCSS 3D

Scrollytelling Card Tilt

Cards that tilt, rotate, and transition in 3D space as you scroll through a narrative sequence.

R3FMeshTransmissionMaterial

Glass Cards

Physically accurate glass refraction using React Three Fiber's transmission shader. No tricks — real geometry.

Node.jsSocket.ioMultiplayer

Bad Art Club

Real-time multiplayer drawing game. 8 players. One prompt. Terrible art. Good time.

Built by Matt Headley under Gather Studio. Stack: React Three Fiber, Three.js, GSAP, WebGL, Node.js, Socket.io. Most experiments run in a browser with no server required. Some live demos may sleep if hosted on free tiers — give them a moment.
