Depth on Hover
Extruding tokens of reality with a simple pointer.
🧐 What do you see?▼
A simple 2D square sits in the center. Hover your mouse over it. The shape will tilt into perspective and grow a "tail" of layers, instantly transforming into a 3D block.
🧠 Why this works▼
This uses CSS 3D Transforms and Layer Stacking. By duplicating the element and offsetting it along the Z-axis, we simulate "extrusion."
The "illusion" here is the shock of transition—the brain is primed to see flat UI elements, so a sudden shift into 3D perspective creates a powerful sense of depth and weight.
🧪 Try variations▼
Use Intensity to control the height of the extrusion. At 1.0, it feels like a standard block. At 2.0, it becomes a long rectangular beam stretching into the screen.
