When to Use
Ideal for product detail pages, photographer portfolios, and modern web applications that want to emphasize depth of field. Use this React component to reveal 'hidden' text or secondary image details by shifting the focus from the foreground to the background.
Best Practices
Optimize for performance by ensuring the blur intensity doesn't exceed 20px, as very high blur values can be heavy on mobile GPUs. Follow React best practices by using high-contrast typography for the focused content. Maintain scalable component architecture by choosing a standard set of blur values for your design system.
Why This Component Matters in Modern UI Development
Focal shifts provide a physical, camera-like interaction that is rare in modern frontend development. This reusable React component gives you a production-level tool for building immersive 3D-like experiences on a 2D screen, adding visual depth and premium feel to your real-world application architecture.
Frequently Asked Questions
QCan I use it with text instead of images?
Absolutely! The focal shift works beautifully for bringing specific paragraphs or headlines into sharp focus while blurring others.
QHow fast should the focus shift?
The shift is mapped to scroll progress, so the 'speed' is controlled by the user's scroll velocity and the height of the transition container.
QDoes it support multiple layers of focus?
Yes, the component can be extended to support 'mid-ground' focus layers for a more complex lens-like experience.
