Tech Stack

• Frontend: React 18.2.0 with @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei for 3D model rendering
• Backend: None, static hosting suitable due to client-side rendering
• API: None, as there is no server-side interaction
• Database: None, as there is no data persistence requirement
• Hosting: Local/Demo

Setup Steps

1. Clone the repository: git clone <repository-url>
2. Navigate to the project directory: cd helmet_3d_showcase
3. Install dependencies: npm install

Local Running Steps

1. Start the development server: npm start
2. Open your web browser and navigate to: http://localhost:3000 (default React port)

Application Structure

• Overlay: A React component that allows users to scroll through different sections, each corresponding to a view of the 3D helmet model.
• Model: The 3D model of the helmet, which reacts to scroll events and updates its orientation accordingly.
• styles.css: Contains the styling for the application, ensuring text and model alignment as per the current section.

Possible Next Steps

• Add user interaction to the 3D model, allowing users to click and drag to rotate the model manually.
• Integrate analytics to understand user engagement with different views of the model.
• Enhance the visual design with additional CSS or WebGL shaders for more realistic effects.
• Prepare the application for deployment by optimizing asset loading and considering CDN hosting for the model files.
