- Real-time 3D customization with smooth color transitions.
- Fixed front view with subtle mouse interaction for basic depth.
- Product info overlay and a shopping-cart placeholder for future e-commerce integration.
- Mobile-optimized 3D experience.
I started with quick Figma prototypes to explore layout and interaction. From those designs I built the UI and the 3D view with Next.js and React Three Fiber, iterating quickly on the look and feel until the experience felt right.
During development I ran into a couple of notable challenges: parts of the headphone initially shared the same material, so changing one color affected others, and coordinating smooth transitions across routes required consistent state.
I addressed these by giving each headphone part its own material instance and by using a lightweight global store (Zustand) to synchronize animations and UI state.
I kept the scope intentionally small for an MVP focus on core customization, smooth easing, and responsive layout and applied a few performance tweaks (preloading the GLB and dynamic scaling) to keep the demo snappy on mobile and desktop.
By the end the project became a compact, interactive 3D customizer that demonstrates real-time customization, smooth transitions, and responsive design.
The headphones model is the heaviest asset. I preloaded the GLB to reduce load delays and implemented dynamic scaling for efficient rendering on different viewports. These simple optimizations keep the MVP responsive on mobile and desktop.
- Using Zustand for lightweight global state.
- Handling 3D transitions and easing with React Three Fiber.
- Balancing real-time interactivity with simple performance optimizations.
Ideas for future exploration (MVP-level scope kept small):
- Add more headphone models or accessories.
- Hook up the shop button to a backend or store.
- Offer additional material presets for more visual options.
- Improve camera controls (zoom/rotate) for a richer preview.
