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.

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

• 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

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.
