-Also, if you're smart, you can use the `asset.on('change')` event to automatically update your materials when ever the shader changes.

-It's certainly no surprise to learn that mobile phones account for over 40% of internet browsing, but still many web-based brand experiences, especially those with high quality visuals and WebGL graphics are only targeting desktop. Historically, this is for two reasons. A lack of awareness about the power available to mobile browsers: no one is building these projects, so no one knows they are possible. And poor performance from other engines: treating the web as an after-thought and a second class citizen means large downloads and slow frame rates.
+Over 40% of internet browsing occurs on mobile phones, yet many high-quality web-based brand experiences, particularly those utilizing WebGL graphics, primarily target desktop users. This trend stems from two main factors: a general unawareness of the capabilities of mobile browsers and the subpar performance of other engines that often treat the web as a secondary platform, resulting in extensive download times and sluggish frame rates.
 
-With this in mind, the team at PlayCanvas set about creating a brand experience that could demonstrate what is possible in a mobile experience today. Using cutting edge visuals more at home in a AAA console game than in a mobile web-browser, we've created an interactive experience that any brand would be proud of.
+Recognizing these challenges, PlayCanvas has developed a mobile brand experience that showcases the potential of modern mobile web capabilities. Our project features cutting-edge visuals, comparable to those found in AAA console games, crafted for an interactive experience any brand would value.
