Signature Design Concept

The EduPilot homepage will feature an interactive "Educational Galaxy" where each star represents a different educational stage or feature. Users can click on stars to explore content, drag to navigate through the galaxy, and hover to see connections between different educational paths. This concept will be brought to life using @react-three/fiber for 3D interactions and gsap for smooth animations. The galaxy will dynamically adjust based on the user's educational level, providing a personalized and engaging experience.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will utilize a "parallax" interaction model, creating a layered depth effect as users scroll through the content. Decorative elements will move at different speeds, providing a visually rich first impression. Internal pages, such as dashboards and settings, will adopt a "static" interaction model to prioritize clarity and readability.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The application must support offline access to educational content.
• It should provide secure authentication and data protection.
• The system must be scalable to accommodate millions of users.
• The application should support both dark and light modes.
