Immersive 3D Commerce Platform

3D-first ecommerce platform using Three.js and WebGL for interactive product visualization — in active development alongside the existing 2D jewelry ecommerce storefront.

  • Three.js
  • WebGL
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Node.js
  • MongoDB
  • Socket.IO

01

Problem

Traditional ecommerce product pages fail to convey spatial qualities of jewelry and configurable goods where visual inspection drives purchase decisions.

02

Solution

Building a 3D-first commerce experience with WebGL-based product visualization, interactive camera controls, and real-time rendering integrated with jewelry catalog and checkout workflows.

03

Architecture

Three.js rendering layer with optimized asset pipeline. React frontend orchestrates 3D scene and ecommerce state. Backend APIs handle catalog, inventory sync, and order processing from the existing jewelry ERP stack.

04

Business impact

Enhances product discovery and purchase confidence through immersive visualization for high-value configurable jewelry products.

Decisions

Technical decisions

  1. 01Three.js for mature ecosystem and React integration
  2. 02Level-of-detail asset loading for performance scaling
  3. 03Shared catalog APIs from the 2D ecommerce baseline

Features

Feature breakdown
