What it does

Programmatic background of pseudo-3D semi-transparent panels rotating around a central vertical axis. Analytic perspective projection — for each pixel the shader walks 12–20 candidate panels (count is colors-count-dependent so the wheel reads coherently), checks z-depth and lateral position, and composites the surviving fragment. Two interleaved sets (forward / reverse rotation) keep the wheel continuous.

Requires iOS 18+ / macOS 15+ (SwiftUI ShaderLibrary / Shader / Metal stitchable).
