What changes at 120 frames

Liquid glass, measured in light

Composited in a single GPU pass

Blur, bloom and bokeh resolve together in 4.2ms — no re-reads, no tearing at the seam.

Realtime

Sheen that follows the light source

Every panel reads a single global lux value, so reflections stay coherent across the whole surface.

Coherent

Tile resolution scales with density

Glass shards subdivide to 0.5px on high-DPI displays without aliasing — sharp at any zoom, never noisy.

Adaptive

No rollback in two years of shipping

The pipeline has held through 412 releases; the gloss layer has never been the regression.
