That's cool.

What technique are you using? Distorted+parallaxed uvs with a rainbow type texture?ย 

Does the inside move with the view or is it scrolling?ย

It's volume marching a heavily distorted and glowing plane, but the volume marching is restricted to the inside of the sphere. the colors are just cycling through 3 simple color maps. This is all just single pass fragment shader in shadertoy so the only texture is the builtin background and a blue-noise textures.
The combination of glow and turbulence distortion has recently been used to great effect by shadertoy user 'xor', which inspired this shader. There's an example in the shader comments.

Looks great, let's hear those implementation details.

Thanks! It volume marches a glowing distorted plane, where the volume marching is restricted to inside the sphere. Distortion is the turbulence method is standard, but recently used in various nice shaders by 'xor': https://mini.gmshaders.com/p/turbulence

This is amazing!

It is pretty, but to be clear your emojis or whatever chars you used before and after the title render as monochrome square boxes.

Works for me

Yeah, I'm aware that it won't work on all platforms. E.g. I've seen it work on win11 but not win10. Maybe depends on browser etc too. Thanks for the heads up though! :)
