In case the creator is reading this, please don't break scrolling. This page scrolls impossibly slowly for me. (Firefox 37.0.2, OSX 10.10.3)

Drag to scroll

I'm on a desktop. My mouse has a scrollwheel. My scrolling is perfectly fine on pretty much every other website. Why should I be expected to know to "drag to scroll" as if I'm doing all my web browsing on a smartphone emulator?

The speech in the video is hardly understandable (at least for me). Is there a transcript anywhere? Edit: You seriously think a comment asking for a transcript because the voice seems hard to understand deserves being down voted?

Vimeo videos don't have automatic captioning, unfortunately. If you are finding it hard to hear there may be a problem with your speakers or your hearing. Or possibly your soundcard - check that you're not using some sort of equalizer that's supposed to 'optimize' things for music or so using EQ curves. If everything else sounds fine and it's only this one video, then I'm not sure what to say. The speaker has a disti…

Everything else sounds fine. Its hard for me to understand him because of his accent, selectively fast speech and "somewhat nasal voice". After the beginning I could follow him but the first 30 seconds are hard for me.

Wow this is really, really impressive. Every little detail of the app and the rendering is finely designed and well thought of. There are even god rays and camera aperture settings. I would love to try it!

On the topic of the voice and its effect, you may be interested in http://www.reddit.com/r/asmr

This is the first time I've heard about ASMR, thank you for the link, not sure if it's placebo, but watching this video was... interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erTe2wkxc-g
