Glassbrick - live usability: zoom, color, use keyboard as mouse

[webfork]

A few years old now and the main site is offline, but very unique. I found some of the controls less than ideal, but still a *lot* of functionality here. Sad to see that it's no longer in development.

- Zoom function - works beautifully but you can't interact with objects once you reach 3x zoom level, meaning you have to zoom back out to click on something.
- Keyboard mouse control - very smooth and easy to use but couldn't seem to get it to function with zoom. Some of the listed hotkeys were less than clear.
- Color controls - not as easy to use but can see a LOT of uses beyond just readability and visual impairment, including reduced color contrast for smaller screen captures. Color overlay option was either really light or really dark.
