khlorghaal / lowflash Goto Github PK

lowflash is a compositor shader for reducing risk of photosensitivity and photoepilepsy.
its a simple temporal lowpass filter roughly inspired by TXAA.

this is not a reliable nor scientifically studied solution to photoepilepsy prevention.
it must be used in addition to things like: simple avoidance, browser plugins, websites offering accomodations - ie i implore youtube should offer a checkbox for video authors to indicate potential photosensitivity andor loud audio.
i am personally not epileptic at all. my motivation for this project is much of my artwork is severely photoepilepsy averse.
