Product Visualization
Yesterday, I decided that we needed a simple app demonstrating product visualization. The idea here is that within Luster we can put a 3D representation of a product, building, or part. Users can get a great feel for the design of the product by interactively moving around it. The full 3D environment Luster provides means it is easy to set this sort of application up.
For a more advanced demo, we can allow the user to interact with different parts, or perform actions on the system. For instance, for a car we could open the door and move the camera in to peer into the interior. We can let the user look under the hood and rev the engine (play a recorded sound of the actual engine). You can see in this video below an automated exploded view which we can do for any other products. We could also attach information to the product, or its parts that the user can easily access. A car might have information about optional extras, with links that lead out to the manufacturer’s website with even more information.
These sorts of application makes exploring a product more fun, and easier to navigate. Here’s some media from the demo.
