What is the pseudo 3D card-swiping interface called?

Questions
1

Anyone know what this component is commonly called? Or what you would call it?

Note... we already have a Selector, Swiper, Stepper, Carousel, etc. so hopefully something different. I have an idea for a name.... but just want to make sure there is not an obvious one that I am missing.

Carousel is generally what that would be called, right? On macs I think Apple has its own name "Cover Flow"? MerryGoRound? ShieldMaiden? Tortoise? Armadillo? CardSlider?

Would it be worth doing a vertical one too - with a parameter.

I found out CoverFlow and albumShuffle

//I’m still waiting for them to bring back the album shuffle, where you’d pick an artist, //and play an entire album before randomly selecting the next album to be played.

@abstract isn't this essentially a type of slider? I know this isn't helpful. I do like the one word naming scheme of the others. Conveyor is nice. Or Track. In truth it is just another carousel designed a bit differently.

It is more like a real carousel than our other carousel. But... some of you may remember a RoloDex - it is kind of like that too. Or the same feel. Not going to call it a RoloDex as it is probably a trademark.

I was also thinking like cards deck as name.. Inhope you can be able to shuffle the cards .. as there is an asset https://zimjs.com/assets/cards.png
