i want to be a firefly

Kinda difficult to explain but here goes
When we walk pass an item it highlights and we get to interact with it, however whilst on toxic moon I have grown increasingly facinated by the possibility of playing with that same light, noticing how when zoomed out that highlighting travels over a vertical stack of items ( in this case the stem and flower in the centre column of the moon) in a simular way to a flash of lightening or a pulse of light.

I would like the ability to become a glitchian version of a firefly or light pen, this leads on to being able to use the light I'm emitting to create art, patterns, fireworks, writing perhaps, The medium could be varied using plexus type density or multiple bounces, or even bouncy walls to fire off of, then the light trails would need to lasting longer and be variable in colors.

This i think would be amazing fun especially with a team and each member choosing a different colour light to trail with.

So basically I want a trail of light behind me that stays there, so I can draw/make art with it.

  • i really love this idea!  if anybody has trouble understanding it, just walk around the floor of a messy house and notice how the glow changes and zooms with you as you move through the stuff.  now i can't stop seeing the patterns of light too - make this a thing, Tiny Speckers!
