3D Scanline Carousel — Futuristic scanline powered carousels

3D Scanline Carousel is a high impact visual component designed to create a futuristic scanning experience for image based content. It blends smooth infinite motion, interactive dragging, and layered canvas effects to produce a polished, high performance result inside Framer.

At its core, a vertical scanline beam sits at the center of the layout. As cards move through this beam, they transition from a grayscale scanned state into a fully revealed image. The effect is enhanced with animated particles, glow layers, and subtle lighting changes that react in real time as cards intersect the scanner.

The carousel supports seamless infinite looping, ensuring there is no visible start or end. Motion remains smooth even during interaction, with drag input temporarily overriding autoplay for precise control.
