How to do it
The follow cursor component is the easiest way to get started. It allows any element to smoothly track the cursor’s movement with built-in customization options.

How to use it:
Drop the component into your Framer project.
Place it inside any element you want to follow the cursor
Customize the movement settings in the right panel:
Smoothing: Controls how fluidly the element follows.
Alignment: Adjusts how the element positions itself relative to the cursor.
Transition: Modifies opacity changes when enabling/disabling the effect.

Creating an interactive light effect
Here’s a cool example to show it can be used for any element to create various effects. The holographic 3D cards resource shows how this effect can be combined with gradient movement and parallax floating for stunning visuals.

How it works
So basically you layer 5 elements on top of each other (images and gradients), all with different opacity values and blending modes. If done correctly, you get the holographic effect.

All we need is a way to move all the gradient layers on hover. Now we apply the parallax floating component. This makes them move dynamically with the cursor.
