  This is nice. Is the code on GitHub?

  Might make sense to use two coordinate systems for source and target?

  An orthographic camera might be appropriate, at least for that particular demo.

  Bug: y seems to be undefined or 0 when evaluating the z part of the mapping

  Nice retro nightclub feel

  Nitpicky, but calling something R^3 outside of an academic context when '3D' suffices leaves me feeling oversold and underdelivered. This is 3-dimensional, and no further info is added with R^3 while only making it slightly less approachable.

  R^3 contains R^2 and R, but I can't change the view to just 2D or 1D, so why call it R^3?
