Northstar Eyeball-Shaped Infinite Poster Scroller

An unique interactive display installation engineered from scratch to render seamlessly scrolling poster collections along an organic, eye-shaped curved surface without multi-mesh or multi-sprite overhead. The geometry was custom-modeled in Blender as an open-ended, smoothly bended 3D mesh with a rectangular UV layout to maximize texture space efficiency. In Unity, a custom HLSL shader manages five blended texture layers driven by a real-time offset variable, achieving smooth sequential cross-fading and frame transitions. A supporting C# data manager dynamically swaps texture content to support infinite scrolling sequences in both directions, while a robust touch input controller utilizes hyperbolic tangent ($\text{tanh}$) mathematical functions to ensure organic, momentum-based drag response that smoothly approaches and holds at the threshold limits for fluid left-and-right navigation.
