Cursor trail velocity
An example of creating a cursor trail with velocity-based inertia animations in Motion for React.
Tutorial
Introduction
The Cursor trail velocity example shows how to spawn images as the user's cursor moves around the screen.
This example is a twist on the original Cursor trail example, where the pointer velocity is recorded at the moment of image spawn and this is fed into a type: "inertia" animation.
