Scroll Velocity Illusion
Convert physical effort into visual distortion.
🧐 What do you see?▼
Try scrolling this page up and down. As you move the scrollbar faster, the central pattern will warp, rotate, and change color. When you stop, the pattern settles back into its neutral state.
🧠 Why this works▼
This is an example of Dynamic Input Mapping. We often perceive scrolling as a purely functional act (moving a list), but by linking scroll velocity to visual parameters (hue, density, rotation), we can create a sense of direct physical influence over digital geometry.
🧪 Try variations▼
Try "flicking" your scroll wheel versus moving it slowly. TheMomentum of the scroll is tracked in real-time to drive the complexity of the moiré-style interference pattern.
