## Prompt (replace [TEXT] with your text)

```text
Design a sci-fi heads-up display that locks onto the word [TEXT]. Blue-black background with a faint dot grid and scanlines; all line work thin cyan (#5ff3ff) with a few amber (#ffb347) warning accents. Behind the word, three or four concentric rings with tick marks, dashed arc segments and degree numbers rotate at different speeds and directions. Small corner brackets hop from letter to letter while each letter decodes from random symbols into a wide geometric sans; then the brackets spring out to frame the whole word, an amber "TARGET LOCK" tag appears and the letters fill with a soft glow. Keep side readouts, bar meters and a sliding ruler ticking constantly. Hold, release the lock, loop every 8 seconds.
```

## Visual DNA

- Monochrome cyan line work with amber accents on blue-black
- Concentric rings with ticks and arc segments rotating at different speeds
- Corner brackets that hop letter to letter, then snap around the whole word
- Letters decode from random symbols into a wide geometric sans
- Side readouts, bar meters and a sliding ruler that never stop updating
