Live Orb

A matte 3D sphere with two capsule eyes that follow the pointer — white, black, webgl, and custom variants.

A still orb. Two pill eyes ride the curve and look at the cursor. White is the default — a quiet off-white ball with black capsules. Black inverts it. WebGL keeps the same face on an iridescent interior. Custom takes your hex.

Occasional eyelid squash

Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @23rd/live-orb

Or install straight from the public GitHub source registry:

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add radiumcoders/23rd.dev/live-orb

Usage

"use client"

import { LiveOrb } from "@/components/ui/live-orb"

export function Mascot() {
  return <LiveOrb />
}

Named variants set the material. custom reads color and eyeColor. webgl can take an optional three-stop colors palette.

<LiveOrb variant="white" />
<LiveOrb variant="black" />
<LiveOrb variant="webgl" />
<LiveOrb variant="webgl" colors={["#7C6AF7", "#7DD3C7", "#E8B4D4"]} />
<LiveOrb variant="custom" color="#7C5CFF" eyeColor="#FAFAFA" />

The orb does not follow the pointer — only the eyes do. Pass interactive={false} to park the gaze.
