🔹 Draggable 3D Gallery

The Draggable 3D Gallery is an interactive UI component that presents images or cards in a three-dimensional space, allowing users to click/touch and drag to rotate, swipe, or navigate through items. It creates a sense of depth and immersion by simulating a 3D environment directly within the browser.

🔹 How It Works

The component arranges images in a 3D layout (such as a carousel, cube, or circular ring) using CSS transform properties like rotateY, translateZ, and perspective.

When the user interacts:

• Drag or swipe: Rotates the gallery horizontally or vertically

• Mouse movement / touch input: Updates rotation in real-time

• Momentum / inertia (optional): Adds smooth continuation after drag

• Depth illusion: Items closer appear larger, distant ones smaller

JavaScript is often used to handle drag events and calculate rotation angles, while CSS handles rendering and animation.

🔹 Key Features
