Accessibility considerations: on/off switch

[nattarnoff]

First, let me say this is well done and I really like it. But as a developer who suffers from a vestibular disorder and motion sickness, this kind of framework can cause physical pain to users.

I am recommending giving the user some control in case they, like me, can get sick with this kind of animation. The simple solution is including a switch in the framework rendered to the screen (preferably at the top) where the user can turn off the animation. When off all the content is stacked as it would be by default and all space-frame elements would be display: block and visible. This then lets the user still get the story experience while not becoming ill from motion.

I have a simple switch prototype I made on Codepen

Hi! Thank you for your thoughts!

I'm not entirely sure if this should be up to the library or the site using the library to implement; But I'll definitely try to add a off-hook for starters. :)

Cheers!

That would be great. Considering the nature of space.js for being story telling in a single page interface, I think providing that hook and options to easily turn it on is important.

While I don't like it, not having it on by default does make some sense from a framework POV.
