COMPONENT / CURSOR

Parallax Reticle

A multi-depth reticle separates foreground optics, measured rails and a delayed target plate to make cursor velocity feel spatial without visual noise.

WHAT IT DOES

A multi-depth reticle separates foreground optics, measured rails and a delayed target plate to make cursor velocity feel spatial without visual noise.

BEST FOR
  • Exploration cues
  • Portfolio detail
  • Pointer-led product moments
KEY FEATURES
  • Foreground and target planes use separate velocity-derived offsets
  • Measured ticks remain attached to their optical ring
  • Chroma separation is localized to moving depth planes
  • 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.
