Spherical Text Magnifcation Spherical Text Magnification is a three dimensional displacement technique that conserves valuable computational resources. The system works by defining a reactive letter object in continual watch of the mouse. When the mouse comes within a specified distance of the letter, the letter is first pushed away, then attracted to the mouse as it draws nearer. In addition, the letter is magnified by a sinusoidal relationship to the distance from the mouse. The effect is a reactive field of letters that appear to be magnified by a lens controlled by the mouse. This three dimensional technique was originally published in Flash MX 3D Cheats, published by Friends of Ed.
