This 3D image sphere gallery transforms traditional image grids into an interactive spatial experience. Images are distributed evenly across a virtual sphere, creating a sense of depth, motion, and dimensionality that immediately draws attention. Users can drag to rotate the sphere freely, explore content from different angles, or let it auto rotate smoothly for a more ambient presentation.
Each image dynamically responds to its depth position. Items closer to the viewer appear sharper, larger, and more prominent, while distant images softly blur and fade, reinforcing realistic depth perception. Subtle scaling, opacity changes, and z index management ensure smooth visual hierarchy and natural motion at all times.
Hover interactions bring images into focus, optionally scaling them forward while removing blur and grayscale. Clicking an image can open a focused popup view, allowing users to examine visuals without losing context. The popup is fully configurable in size and behavior, making it suitable for both gallery previews and detailed showcases.
The gallery supports uploaded images or URL based sources, automatically distributing content across the sphere using an optimized golden angle algorithm. Perspective, rotation speed, blur strength, item size, borders, shadows, and interaction settings are all adjustable, giving full creative control over the final look and feel.
Designed for performance and visual polish, this component is ideal for projects that want to feel modern, experimental, and immersive rather than flat or static.
