I've been searching and I can't find anything on the web, but I'm interested in creating (or using something already available, hopefully since I'm pressed with time) similar to this site: http://www.citroen.hr/citroen/#/citroen/
It's also similar to the Safari Top Sites view, but has the added mouse-tracking and 3d rotation.
Does anyone know of something similar created with javascript/html/css or can point me in the right direction?
Here's a more modern version of something of the kind.
A basic version with HTML elements, CSS 3D transforms (so it only works in browsers supporting 3D transforms & nesting of 3D transformed elements - this means no Opera and no IE) and a little bit of JavaScript for the mouse tracking:
HTML:
<ul class='tiles'>
<li class='tile'></li>
<!-- more tiles; I used 16 for the demo and put them on an icosagon -->
</ul>
<div class='slider'></div>
Relevant CSS:
.tiles {
position: absolute;
top: 50%; left: 50%;
padding: 0;
width: 0; height: 0;
list-style: none;
transform-style: preserve-3d;
transform: rotateY(-162deg);
}
.tile {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
margin: 0.5em -10em;
width: 20em; height: 20em;
backface-visibility: hidden;
opacity: 0.5;
/* inradius of an icosagon */
cursor: pointer;
transition: 0.5s;
}
.tile:hover { opacity: 1; }
.tile:nth-child(odd) { bottom: 100%; }
.tile:nth-child(2), .tile:nth-child(1) {
transform: rotateY(18deg) translateZ(-66.29439em);
}
/* and so on... in general, something of the form:
.tile:nth-child(2*i), .tile:nth-child(2*i-1) {
transform: rotateY(1*18deg) translateZ(-66.29439em);
}
where 18deg = outer angle of the icosagon
66.29439em = 1.05*20em*(1 + sqrt(5) + sqrt(5 + 2*sqrt(5)))/2
= 1.05 * inradius of icosagon
see http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Icosagon.html */
.tile:nth-child(1) {
background: url(image1.jpg);
background-size: cover;
}
/* and so on, set backgrounds for each */
.slider {
position: absolute;
bottom: 5%; left: 10%;
height: 0.25em; width: 80%;
opacity: 0.5;
background: grey
linear-gradient(90deg, crimson 100%, transparent 100%) no-repeat;
background-size: 5% 100%;
}
JavaScript:
(function(){
var b = document.body;
b.addEventListener('mousemove', function(e) {
var w = b.clientWidth, x = e.clientX,
perc = x/w,
full_angle = -162,
to_angle = full_angle + (100 - perc)*full_angle,
txt = 'rotateY(' + to_angle + 'deg)',
prefixes = ['Webkit', 'Moz', /*'ms', 'O', */''],
len = prefixes.length,
property = 'Transform',
a = document.querySelector('.tiles'),
s = document.querySelector('.slider');
for(var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
if(prefixes[i] == '')
property = property.toLowerCase();
a.style[prefixes[i] + property] = txt;
}
s.style.backgroundPosition = (perc*100 - .5) + '% 50%';
}, false);
}());
