Question 1

How do I adjust the scroll speed in Interdimensional?

Accepted Answer

You can control scroll speed by setting the PPD (pixels per degree) option during initialization; a higher PPD value increases scroll sensitivity per tilt degree, as explained in the API options. Adjust the insensitivity setting to fine-tune when scrolling starts.

Question 2

Does Interdimensional work with frameworks like React or Vue?

Accepted Answer

Interdimensional is a vanilla JavaScript library, so it requires manual integration into frameworks; you'll need to wrap it in lifecycle methods or use refs, as there's no built-in support or examples in the README for modern frameworks.

Question 3

Interdimensional or traditional scroll libraries: which is better for user experience?

Accepted Answer

Interdimensional is best for experimental, immersive experiences where motion control adds novelty, but traditional libraries like ScrollMagic offer more reliable, accessible scrolling for mainstream sites. Choose based on whether you prioritize innovation over usability.

Question 4

How to handle when device orientation is not available?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'interdimensional:fail' event to detect unsupported devices, then fall back to traditional scrolling or display an error message, as suggested in the events section of the README. Ensure graceful degradation for broader compatibility.

Question 5

Can I use a custom button instead of the default control?

Accepted Answer

Yes, set the 'control' option to null or a custom HTMLElement in the charge method, and manually trigger 'jump' or 'kick' methods based on your UI, as detailed in the API for custom control integration.

Question 6

Is Interdimensional suitable for mobile-first websites?

Accepted Answer

It can work for mobile-first sites if targeting modern devices with orientation sensors, but consider user experience carefully; motion scrolling might not be intuitive for all users and could conflict with other touch gestures.
