Now You See Me, Now You Don’t

Puddles in the desert, moon circles after dark. Walk onto a trampoline, jump between sandstone walls, and watch the circles illuminate the canyon as daylight fades.

WASD / arrows to walk · drag to look · Space to jump · B for higher jump
Touch: move on the left · look on the right

An independent interpretation of Manal AlDowayan’s Desert X AlUla installation. Twelve trampoline circles and their lighting follow the artist’s references; terrain, placement and bounce physics are interpreted.

A little orientation

WASD / arrows: Walk through the space
Shift: Walk faster
Drag: Look around. Double-click the scene to lock the pointer; Escape releases it.
Touch: Drag the left half to move, the right half to look.
E: Move to the next trampoline. Space jumps; B jumps higher. Land before jumping again.
H / F: Help / fullscreen

Walk onto a circle to jump. Landing gives a small spring rebound. Use the daylight slider or presets to change the sun. Arrow keys adjust the slider when it is focused; click the scene to resume walking. Times are an artistic lighting study, not a solar simulation.
