Mouse Parallax Distortion
Layers of reality shifting with your every move.
🧐 What do you see?▼
Move your mouse cursor across the stage. A series of geometric frames will shift and rotate. Notice how the frames move at different speeds—the larger ones seem "closer" to you and move more, while smaller ones seem distant.
🧠 Why this works▼
This illusion exploits Motion Parallax, a depth cue that humans use naturally when moving through the world. Objects closer to us appear to move faster across our field of vision than distant objects.
By syncing this movement to your Mouse Input, the brain perceives a three-dimensional volume even though the screen is perfectly flat.
🧪 Try variations▼
Adjust the Intensity slider. High intensity increases the multi-plane depth effect, making the "distance" between layers feel vast. Low intensity collapses the layers back into a single flat plane.
