The 3D Interactive Dome Gallery is an advanced, visually captivating gallery component designed for immersive image presentation. It arranges images on a semi-spherical dome, allowing users to explore and interact with the gallery in a fully three-dimensional environment. Each image tile is clickable, animates smoothly, and adapts to both desktop and touch-based devices.
3D Dome Layout: Images are arranged on a spherical surface, creating a visually striking, immersive experience.
Interactive Rotation: Users can drag to rotate the dome horizontally. Rotation supports inertia and momentum for smooth and realistic motion.
Auto Rotation: Optionally, the dome can rotate automatically, with configurable speed and direction. Hovering can pause rotation for better user control.
Scroll Spin Support: Users can rotate the dome using the mouse wheel or trackpad gestures, with smooth velocity-based inertia.
Click-to-Open Overlay: Clicking any image opens a popup overlay with a larger view of the image, complete with blur and backdrop effects for focus.
Touch Optimized: Fully functional on mobile devices with swipe-to-rotate and momentum support for natural touch interactions.
Customizable Styling: Supports grayscale filters, image border radius, dome size, padding, and overlay blur for complete visual customization.
Responsive Design: Automatically adjusts the dome size based on container dimensions while respecting minimum and maximum radius constraints.
Smooth Animations: Transitions for tile hover, rotation, and overlay opening are smooth and visually appealing.
Accessibility Support: Keyboard navigation (Enter/Space to open images, Escape to close popups) and ARIA roles for popups ensure usability for all users.
Performance Optimized: Efficient rendering and animation handling using requestAnimationFrame, minimal DOM updates, and optional static rendering for previews.
Portfolio Websites: Showcase photography, artwork, or design collections in a unique, immersive layout.
Product Showcases: Highlight products in a 3D interactive view, allowing users to browse multiple items efficiently.
Media Galleries: Ideal for interactive media presentations, museums, or exhibition sites.
Creative Landing Pages: Add a dynamic, high-impact visual element to marketing or creative agency websites.
Educational Tools: Present images, diagrams, or slides in a visually engaging 3D space for online courses or learning modules.
