Orbit Pointer

A central pointer node surrounded by counter-rotating satellites, measured orbit rails and velocity-driven eccentricity.

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

• Counter-rotating satellites preserve readable phase spacing
• Pointer velocity stretches local orbit eccentricity
• Rail and node contrast remain independent
• 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.
