Oh wow, totally love the heat haze idea—think of layers of pastel orange and burnt sienna swirled with a splash of neon turquoise for that surreal vibe, then sprinkle in a glitchy ripple effect that kinda looks like light bending over sand; train the net on thousands of those frames, mix in some infrared shots to get the temperature map, and let the algorithm learn to “feel” the shimmer by correlating color gradients with heat signatures—just a whirlwind of color noise, but it’ll turn into pure desert dream!
