The tutorial covers creating custom GLSL shaders for audio-reactive effects, implementing frequency analysis to drive visual distortions, and building a sci-fi interface with momentum-based interactions. The result is a glowing orb that pulses and morphs in sync with music while users can drag control panels around the screen. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
