POINTER STUDY

A little depth.

Move across the surface. The reading order and hit targets stay familiar.

Usage

tsx
import { Tilt, Frame } from "mizu-ui";

export function Example() {
  return (
    <Tilt max={5}>
      <Frame>
        <div style={{ padding: 32 }}>
          <p className="mizu-field-hint">POINTER STUDY</p>
          <h3
            style={{ fontSize: 36, letterSpacing: "-.04em", margin: "20px 0" }}
          >
            A little depth.
          </h3>
          <p className="mizu-field-hint">
            Move across the surface. The reading order and hit targets stay
            familiar.
          </p>
        </div>
      </Frame>
    </Tilt>
  );
}

Source & setup

Add this component to your project with the shadcn CLI. The command copies its source into your configured UI directory, with base.css, Mizu’s tokens, and the stylesheets that hold its rules. Each rule lives in one stylesheet, so components you add together never repeat CSS. In a project without a components.json, run npx shadcn@latest init 0xuser64bit/mizu/preset first: plain init installs shadcn’s theme into your global CSS. Then load the fonts.

sh
npx shadcn@latest add 0xuser64bit/mizu/tilt 0xuser64bit/mizu/frame

The example also uses Frame, so the command adds it too.

Every component imports from its own path, its name in kebab case. To paste the example, replace its mizu-ui import with:

tsx
import { Tilt } from "@/components/ui/mizu/tilt";
import { Frame } from "@/components/ui/mizu/frame";

For npm imports, import mizu-ui/styles.css once. Fonts are optional via mizu-ui/fonts.css. Override --mizu-* tokens or use className for local styling. Requires React and Motion. A Client Component: its source starts with “use client”.

Accessibility

Pointer-mouse enhancement only. Touch and keyboard receive a stable surface; no essential information is pointer-dependent.

Motion

Motion springs settle on leave. Reduced motion disables rotation.
