physical prescence on screen for each cursor in the room #12

Description

@thomascgray

by which i mean: every persons cursor is show floating around on everyone elses screen

for example, excalidraw does something like this:

it needs to be performant though: maybe something where it reads every persons cursor position every half a second and pings that out, and the receivers animate the movement, like the way moving objects works at the minute?

which makes it seem insanely complicated tbh? and i dont think it needs to be? but worth considering
