Ever noticed a double image when looking through some glass? This piece of Iceland spar, a transparent calcite, does just that.

There was an actual scientific breaking attempt and paper and here's Glaze team's response & info on the subsequent update: glaze.cs.uchicago.edu/update21.html

Portfolio is to confirm and ensure only actual artists get to use it, since it runs on Glaze servers. Glaze works, is free and is built by a wonderful team from University of Chicago. I’m a collaborator and vouch for them 🫡

Btw if anyone needs a webGlaze invite, send me a message with a link to your portfolio, and if all checks out I’ll send you one. No limit on the number of invites.
