TAPEDECK

Design notes

TAPEDECK treats the player like a cassette deck bolted to the bottom of the picture: a solid dark plate (so it reads over any footage), chunky bevelled keys that physically press down, an amber LCD counter, and a timeline drawn as a length of tape with a playhead. Pause and play flash a VHS-style on-screen display, and the error state is the familiar blue “check tape” screen.

Every key is at least 44 px, focus rings are high-contrast orange, and all motion (tape wobble, OSD, reels) switches off under prefers-reduced-motion.
