WHAT IT DOES

Navigation labels circulate around a central identity mark, slow near the pointer and lock into a readable active arc on focus.

BEST FOR
  • Product navigation
  • Account flows
  • Application shells
KEY FEATURES
  • Labels remain upright while orbit positions rotate
  • Focus pauses motion and brings the active route forward
  • Reduced motion resolves into a static radial index
  • A component-specific renderer and control contract—not a palette swap of another release
  • Semantic controls, visible focus and keyboard navigation ship with the visual system
PERFORMANCE

No animation package or external preview asset is required. Layout is container-scoped and decorative motion is disabled when reduced motion is requested.

INTERACTION

Pointer, touch, horizontal trackpad and keyboard states use the same underlying component state.

ACCESSIBILITY

Native landmarks and controls preserve reading order, visible focus and keyboard access. Motion never carries the only meaning.

BEHAVIOR

Built to move without taking over.

  • Labels remain upright while orbit positions rotate
  • Focus pauses motion and brings the active route forward
  • Reduced motion resolves into a static radial index
  • A component-specific renderer and control contract—not a palette swap of another release
  • Semantic controls, visible focus and keyboard navigation ship with the visual system

SOURCE STATUS

Portable implementation included in the verified MIT open-source package.
