This is extremely cool! Curious on the story behind this /u/westoncb!

It reminds me of Huygens Optics' recent videos about modelling particles as confined light using a particular non-linear medium [0], is it possible to create similar 'light' particles with tweaks to your setup?

Thank you! I'll take a look at the video—haven't seen it yet but I'll take a look in minute. Some more background on the project in this tweet: https://x.com/Westoncb/status/1879689465360445834

Can you post a comment to this thread giving some of that background and explanation? If so, I'll move it to be the top text of this post. Right now it's a bit hard to tell what we're looking at, though it looks cool!

Yep, it'll take me a minute, but on it. Thanks!
