Breath-Reactive Mode

The mandala can respond to your breathing and ambient sound through your microphone, creating a living connection between your presence and the geometry.

Audio is analyzed locally in your browser and never recorded or transmitted.

🎧 For the best experience, use headphones — mobile speakers may reduce music volume while the microphone is active.
