Neural Labeling UX | James Murray

James Murray has designed a cutting-edge user experience (UX) system featuring zoom-aware labels, halo particles, and a heads-up display (HUD) ring. This system enhances user interaction by providing dynamic, context-sensitive UI elements.

Used in the Neural Portfolio Galaxy -- labels fade in at 30-60 units, halos pulse on hover, HUD ring shows stats. Built for 60fps on mobile.

Key Features

  • Zoom-Aware Labels: CSS2D + distance-based opacity and scale.
  • Halo Particles: GPU instanced sprites with bloom.
  • HUD Ring: Canvas overlay with real-time metrics.
  • Performance: LOD culling, frustum culling.
  • Accessibility: High-contrast mode, screen reader tags.
  • Export: Screenshot + data overlay.

System Design & Architecture

The system uses advanced CSS and JavaScript to create dynamic visual effects that adjust to user interactions. Built on Three.js with postprocessing.

Technical Stack

  • 3D: Three.js r158
  • Effects: postprocessing + custom shaders
  • Labels: CSS2DRenderer
