# Hero Oscilloscope

> A full-width animated oscilloscope hero built with Canvas 2D that draws a summed three-harmonic waveform as a continuous box-drawing trace inside an instrument-style frame, where moving the pointer over it injects energy into a real damped wave simulation that ripples outward and settles back down.
