Resona: Motion that signals meaning before words

A living showcase of purposeful web animation grounded in pseudo-haptics. Exploring how tension, mass, and deceleration simulate tactile physical sensation on glass screens.

01

Pseudo-haptics over physical motors.

Physical vibration engines drain battery and feel artificial. By carefully calibrating pointer drag displacement against visual lag and spring recovery, the user's mind projects physical weight directly into the glass surface.

02

Motion as semantic architecture.

Animation in software is usually added last as decoration. Resona treats motion as an upfront semantic grammar: elements signal their importance, elasticity, and irreversibility before a user reads labels.

03

Zero-fat math curves.

Heavy animation packages introduce frame drops and memory overhead. Resona implements lean spring differential equations directly into requestAnimationFrame loops with automatic fallback for reduced motion.
