Scroll-to-Fly Effect

An homage to fab2.com's flying camera — scroll and the page lifts off, twists, glides, and dives to the next stop. Rebuilt from scratch, phones included; content is placeholder for now.

A self-contained rebuild of the “scroll to fly” camera from fab2.com (original design by the fab2 team).

Nothing on the page ever moves — the sections are pinned to one big flat “wafer” at fixed positions and rotations, and a camera of four numbers (x, y, view width, roll) is the only thing animating. Scrolling scrubs the camera along a path whose every leg is walked in phases: lift out until both stops fit, twist to the next stop’s bearing, glide across the surface, dive back in. That’s why it never feels like a circle — each move flies off in its own direction.

This version also runs on phones: swipe to fly, pinch to zoom out to the whole wafer, tap a stop to fly there. The words on it are placeholder copy, meant to be swapped for real content later.
