WHAT IT DOES

A monochrome rotating world signal built from sampled land dots, latitude and longitude rings, depth-aware outlines and a single Problem-red relay marker that can pause or accelerate on hover.

BEST FOR
  • Framed media
  • Vector studies
  • Focused product surfaces
KEY FEATURES
  • Seeded land sampling creates a stable map-like distribution without fetched data
  • Front and back hemispheres receive separate depth and alpha treatment
  • Marker latitude and longitude are projected through the same live rotation
  • Hover can pause or accelerate the system without rebuilding the point field
  • Every control maps directly to this component's independent renderer contract
  • Full-size and compact previews use the same implementation and behavior
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.

  • Seeded land sampling creates a stable map-like distribution without fetched data
  • Front and back hemispheres receive separate depth and alpha treatment
  • Marker latitude and longitude are projected through the same live rotation
  • Hover can pause or accelerate the system without rebuilding the point field

  • Full-size and compact previews use the same implementation and behavior

SOURCE STATUS

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