Gravitational Cursor

Summary

A playful cursor interaction experiment where moving the default OS pointer spawns soft glowing orbs and trails a globe emoji across a minimal light canvas.

Visual description

A nearly blank pale gray 16:9 canvas with a single small globe emoji floating in the center. There is no text, no interface chrome and no other elements, so the tiny glossy blue and green sphere is the only focal point and sits in a large field of empty space.

Key takeaway

Let one small, familiar object carry a whole interaction on an empty canvas, so the motion is the only thing you notice. Extreme negative space makes a minimal effect feel intentional and premium.

Reuse notes

Reach for this as a motion still reference. Pairs with experimental, minimal directions. Original by Stefan.
