The glass behind the icons is a live simulation, not a video loop. Sand pours grain by grain, bubbles rise into foam, gel squeezes through the necks. Tilt the phone and everything flows to the new down.
App Name: Dunarium
What it does: Dunarium is a digital version of the moving-sand-art desk picture. Tilting the phone is the only control - the accelerometer sets gravity, and about 100k simulated grains avalanche toward the low edge at 60fps (custom C engine). The demo video was recorded with the app's built-in clip recorder.

Feedback is welcome - especially how tilt feels on your device and battery use in longer sessions!
I built this as a small Android sand toy.
The phone tilt controls gravity, so the sand pours toward the low edge while bubbles rise through the gel. You can stir it, shake it into a new scene, freeze gravity, or just let it settle.
It is called Dunarium.
PS. I’d be happy to hear your feedback. Don’t hesitate to share 😊
