Summary

The 3D cursor's click barely changed between None, Light and Strong: its contact and rebound did not depend on the level, and from the front the level-driven parts (tilt, squash) hardly show. The level now drives the whole gesture, in real depth, still with no scale bounce:

  • None: the cursor stays still on a click (it used to touch down anyway).
  • Light (default): touches the screen from 27 to 74 ms after the click, +10° of tilt, rebounds 41% above its hover.
  • Strong: touches from 12 to 100 ms (the tip pin's hold), +20° of tilt, rebounds 82% above its hover.

The contact instant (49.5 ms) is unchanged, so cursor, ring and screen impact still read as one contact. The 2D cursor is unchanged.

Screenshots / video

Rendered with the new opt-in cursor_press_levels in cursor_tap_render.rs (OPENSCREEN_CURSOR_TAP_OUT): a sheet and a slowed-down video of None, Light and Strong side by side.

Testing

  • cargo test -p openscreen-compositor --lib: 374 pass (the contact test now pins None still, Strong earlier, longer, more tilted and higher).
  • D3D11 cursor_model_render, cursor_tap_render, device_frame_render, follow_camera_render: 34 pass.
  • Not run locally: the Linux and macOS render tests. Their tap test mirrors the D3D11 one, which passes.
  • No TypeScript change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Cursor press levels now scale the click animation’s contact duration, pitch, squash, and rebound height. No press level leaves the cursor pose unchanged; stronger levels produce a more pronounced gesture.
    • Updated the documented behavior for Light and Strong press levels, including their contact timing and rebound effects.

…esture

The modelled cursor's contact and rebound did not depend on the level,
so None, Light and Strong looked the same from the front. The level now
drives the whole gesture, in real depth rather than a scale bounce:
None stays still, Light touches from 27 to 74 ms and rebounds 41% above
its hover, Strong touches from 12 to 100 ms, leans twice as far and
rebounds 82% above it. Adds an opt-in sheet and video of the three.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The cursor pose now scales click contact and rebound effects by click-bounce strength, including timing, pitch, and squash; zero disables the response. Related timing and effect documentation was updated, and an opt-in render test produces comparison images and videos for three levels.

Changes

Cursor click-bounce

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scale the cursor pose response
crates/compositor/src/cursor.rs, crates/compositor/src/frame_geometry.rs, docs/3d-effects-v2.md
Click-bounce strength now scales contact timing, rebound height, pitch, and squash. The cursor-pose test checks zero response at strength zero and stronger effects at strength two. Documentation describes the levels and timing.
Render cursor press levels
crates/compositor/tests/cursor_tap_render.rs
An opt-in test captures contact crops and generates normal-speed and quarter-speed videos for three click-bounce levels.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e68ba

The None setting can still turn the 3D cursor on click, and a failed comparison-video encode can go unnoticed. These bounded issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

🟡 Minor · Disable click-target yaw at zero strength. · frame_geometry.rs:3885-3894

crates/compositor/src/frame_geometry.rs:3885-3894
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Disable click-target yaw at zero strength.

When click_bounce is zero and a click target differs from follow_at(t), cursor_pose can still rotate the model toward that target. This is a localized visual defect in the model pose, not a disruption to the broader cursor workflow. Apply strength to the click-target contribution, while keeping motion-driven yaw independent of click strength.

Classify this as a minor issue.

… error

At None the modelled cursor still turned toward a click's target; the aim now follows the level like the rest of the gesture. The opt-in levels video now fails, and keeps its frames, when ffmpeg fails.

@coderabbitai Outside-diff finding (click-target yaw at zero strength): fixed in fc0057e. The click aim is now scaled by strength.min(1.0): absent at None, unchanged from Light up, while the motion-driven yaw stays independent of the level. A test pins it: at None, a clicked track and the same track without the click give the same yaw.
