Scroll Animation

Interaction Design

An animation that triggers or progresses based on the user's scroll position on a page, used to reveal content, create parallax depth effects, or narratively unfold information as the user reads. When well-implemented, scroll animation enhances storytelling and spatial orientation; when overused or poorly timed, it degrades performance and prevents users from jumping quickly to content.
