Aperture Lens

A circular inspection lens that enlarges a measured grid, bends nearby lines and resolves hidden labels only inside its local aperture.

• Exploration cues
• Portfolio detail
• Pointer-led product moments

• Lens redraws a transformed local coordinate system
• Hidden telemetry resolves only inside the aperture
• Pointer damping and edge refraction share one stable pose
• A component-specific renderer and control contract—not a palette swap of another release
• Compact and full previews share one visibility-aware production renderer

Adaptive sampling, capped DPR and visibility-based suspension keep the renderer predictable. Test density on low-power mobile hardware before increasing it.

Pointer and touch coordinates are container-scoped; offscreen renderers stop work and pixel ratio is capped.

The visual canvas is decorative by default. Pair it with a semantic heading or description, and reduced motion holds a stable rendered frame.
