This is extremely cool! Curious on the story behind this /u/westoncb!
It reminds me of Huygens Optics' recent videos about modelling particles as confined light using a particular non-linear medium [0], is it possible to create similar 'light' particles with tweaks to your setup?
Thank you! I'll take a look at the video—haven't seen it yet but I'll take a look in minute. Some more background on the project in this tweet: https://x.com/Westoncb/status/1879689465360445834
