<p>Found this really cool video of an iOS engineer showing real time specular shading based on the lights around you. Look I am not a fan of Liquid Glass in its current instance. However, I am still a fan of technical feats. Apple first introduced this in Apple wallet to cards and esp the Apple Card. Now they’ve made it part of the OS. </p>

<p>Design considerations aside, the technical feat is impressive. </p>

<p>Much like the genetic engineering behind Jurassic Park was impressive. </p>
