SCRYER is a scrying eye you play with your expression. A fractal third eye built on computer vision, dithering and procedural generation. Hold a feeling — open your mouth, raise your brows, squint, tilt your head — and a living world opens and moves with you. Image and a generative synth transform together, in real time. Your face is the way in. It's not a filter. It's an instrument — and a window. WAYS TO SCRY • Drift and unwind inside a slow, hypnotic world • Play — feel how every expression bends image and sound • Create audiovisual material for your projects (square 1:1 and vertical 9:16, HD 1080p) • Turn the camera on yourself and perform — your face on screen, governing it all THE ENGINE • Your expressions drive a real-time glitch-dither engine (ordered dithering, chromatic glitch, pixel-melt, kaleidoscope, CRT, bloom, outline) • A generative synth composes the sound from what you feel — each spell its own voice • Tap a Spell to cross into a complete world, each with its own look, motion and sound • Use a built-in design, generate endless new ones, or load your own photo SPELLS — each one a world Séance · Astral · Glitch Hell · Dungeon · Wraith · Inferno · Oracle · Nexus · Void — from calm and wonder to grief, rage and dissolution. EXPORT Square 1:1 or vertical 9:16 in HD, ready to post or drop into your edits. 100% on device. No account, no cloud, no tracking. Just you, your expression, and the eye looking back.
