This shows the end point of the motion, but not the start point, or the region that's covered between them. Users of vim's motions care about all three of these things. Moreover, since the cursor already serves as a visual indicator of the end point, the ripples don't show us anything we couldn't already see.

It's a fun light show, but doesn't seem particularly useful as a teaching or learning tool.

Hey, any chance of adding simple mouse support to your hypercube demo so that it doesn't need a vive?

I built an interactive prototype for visualizing Vim motions. It's called "Vim Motion Graphics"
