"The vrFireworks screensaver features advanced modeling of fireworks physics and lighting, optional sound effects, and American patriotic music. The complex math produces a very realistic simulation of fireworks mortars and sulfur bombs exploding in displays that build into grand finales (complete with cheering crowds). Easily take control of the launch tubes and create your own fireworks displays. Watch the action from selectable camera views including aerial and stationary ground cameras."
