WHAT IT DOES

A moving cursor shuttle weaves horizontal and vertical threads into a temporary textile, alternating over-under structure and releasing the cloth behind it.

BEST FOR
  • Exploration cues
  • Portfolio detail
  • Pointer-led product moments
KEY FEATURES
  • Warp and weft passes use a real alternating weave order
  • Pointer velocity determines shuttle direction and cloth opening
  • Temporary woven cells decay without breaking continuous threads
  • A component-specific renderer and control contract—not a palette swap of another release
  • Compact and full previews share one visibility-aware production renderer
PERFORMANCE

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

INTERACTION

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

ACCESSIBILITY

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

BEHAVIOR

Built to move without taking over.
