Implementing Data Analysis for Operational Optimization and Increased Business Performance
Businesses today have access to more data than ever before, from customer transactions and interactions to operational metrics and financial …
Currently, any company heavily relies on a global network of resources to build its credibility. The need for a website, commercial advertising, product demonstration, customer participation is a matter of course. Yet is their potential tapped to the full? Who holds the key to unique customer experiences? And what’s the key? Working on a sportswear chain project for a major German digital marketing agency, Agiliway team came close to answering these literally billion-dollar questions.
The client came to us with an intention to make their homepage a unique user experience, stunningly produced with 2D animation, interactive graphics, and visual effects. The scene had to feature an artistic rendering of a mountain stretching above the surrounding land. Navigating with the scrolling commands, a user would move a group of people on the model: on land, up the mountain, right up to the peak where they raise a flag. Short descriptions had to accompany user’s scroll positions giving prompts and suggesting equipment travelers, mountaineer or outdoor enthusiasts might need at different stages of their adventure.
In view of a growing excitement over virtual reality and users’ hunger for experiences, the client realized that crafting a unique home page takes more than hammering away at design, text and a call-to-action button.
For our client designing a competition-crushing home page meant:
As planned, we started with the idea of 2D illustration, trying to make it visually as close as possible to 3D. Yet neither a depth perspective nor a soft blended look of an obtained graphic design and animation created a lifelike effect our client had in mind. At that point, Agiliway team decided to change a tack and stepped aside from playing with shadows, changing angles, creating perspective and other.
Since nearly all modern computers and smartphones are equipped with powerful graphics processors (GPU), while 3D scenes can be rendered and interacted directly in every major desktop browser, the decision was made to use more complex technology and add a new dimension to the interactive real-time animation. To bring our animation to an entirely new level we set our sights on creating a 3D environment and converting the scene from 2D to 3D.
To give 2D images a 3D feel and create unique interactive web experiences, our team agreed on following 3D design solutions:
Just because humans are visual creatures, who perceive 80% of information visually, whose brain processes images much faster than text and makes choices following a subconscious algorithm of three constants (relevance, coherence, participation), a user is affected by interactive 3D graphics instantly. By utilizing the most optimized resources to make the animation highly engaging and pleasing to the eye, we succeeded in:
It’s easy to see the potential of 3D technology for a variety of uses in a wide range of industries and markets, from education, engineering to entertainment and advertising. The project for the German marketing agency has inspired us to develop a game and map by using Cocoon Js Launcher for executing HTML5 apps on mobile devices and Three.js for implementing 3D functionality.
From a user’s perspective, manipulating interactive 3D environments, vivid images and visual effects on the web is a surefire way to enjoy a more engaging experience. For businesses it does even more, it makes key information, products and services stand out.
