Grid Tunnel

Overview

Grid Tunnel pulls the eye through technical space before the product story begins.

Use it for AI launches, developer tools, cybersecurity pages, and technical portfolios where kinetic depth is the opening signal. The page job is momentum: the tunnel should frame the first claim, not become a loading screen disguised as craft.

The thing to watch is sustained motion. A tunnel can drain attention and GPU if it keeps running after it has made its point.

Usage

Component Code

Example Production Use Case

Use this as WebGL production guidance. Verify the shipped source, rendering stack, dependency list, shader assets, resource disposal, pause/offscreen behavior, DPR strategy, poster fallback, and reduced-motion state before relying on exact props, defaults, imports, or installation steps.

Best Used For

• Technical launches where vanishing-point depth supports the positioning before the copy expands it.
• Developer-tool and cybersecurity heroes where engineered space is part of the brand language.
• Portfolio openers where kinetic depth earns its GPU budget.

Not For

Not for low-power-first pages, dense content, dashboards, checkout, or routes where performance is the main conversion lever.

Performance Budget

Cap DPR at 1.0 on touch/mobile and up to 1.5 on mid-range desktop. Pause Grid Tunnel offscreen and in hidden tabs, reduce postprocessing before shipping, and keep texture sizes controlled.

Accessibility and Mobile

Keep meaningful content in HTML outside the canvas. On mobile, reduce shader quality and switch to a poster if the scene cannot hold frame rate.

Common Mistakes

• Running continuous tunnel motion when a still depth frame would do the job.
• Letting tunnel movement reduce headline legibility.
• Forgetting to pause the loop when the section is offscreen or the tab is hidden.
