Spatial Cursor Experiments

ExperimentAug 1, 2025active

Idea

What if the cursor helped you feel the structure of a page: proximity, gravity, rooms?

Demo

Early motion prototypes using spring physics and proximity fields.

Technical Notes

  • Pointer velocity → trail intensity
  • Soft magnetic pull toward interactive targets
  • Prefer subtlety; never fight the user

Learnings

Over-animated cursors become noise. Presence needs restraint.

Future

Integrate a quiet version into Continuum navigation experiments.
