menu like macOS dock help

[berikiushi 2 Likes (Newbie)]

I would like to make the menu with the smooth magnification effect like the dock in macOS.

 

I took this example as a basis

 but the animation does not work smoothly and only starts when you move to the next or previous element.

 

Is it possible to make the animation work smoothly and work at the slightest mouse movement? As in this example

Any help with this question would be great.

The demo I made was designed for scrolling. Mouse movement is a little more dynamic, so using predefined animations might not work that well. How about this?
