Oh hey, I made this a couple of days ago!

I initially made this to experiment with 'faking' depth of field in CSS (check out my penultimate tweet for the demo vid and inspiration from shuding_, link at the bottom of the site).

But last night I remembered that ThreeJS exists, so rewrote it using react-three-fiber. This was my first time playing around with it and I'm super impressed, it's incredibly ergonomic.

Edit: not documented, but right-click drag to pan

Very cool! I also made a CSS based fake depth of field inspired by Shuding :)

Love the interactivity of the UI. Nicely done!

Confirming undocumented feature. Scratching my head why ctrl-left-click on macOS doesn't enable panning, too.

Right-click to pan is how a lot of video games do it, if not left-click drags. Needing to also use a keyboard key at the same time wouldn't very ergonomic.

Agreed. But maybe better awkward than non-existent? Otherwise, users with no right-click can’t pan.

Didn’t realize ctrl-click and right-click are not always functional equivalents.
