Introduction

The epic-system project aims to create a live FIFA merchandise store where fans can upload viral match memes, preview them on hoodies and t-shirts, and checkout instantly. This document outlines the system requirements for the development and implementation of the epic-system.

System Overview

The epic-system is designed to provide a seamless and engaging experience for FIFA fans to create personalized merchandise. The system will allow users to upload images, preview them on various merchandise items, and complete purchases in a streamlined, single-page layout.

• As a Fan, I should be able to preview uploaded memes on hoodies and t-shirts.
• As a Fan, I should be able to instantly checkout with my selected merchandise.
• As a Fan, I should be able to view a simplified, single-page layout for ease of use.

User Personas

• Fan: A FIFA enthusiast who wants to create and purchase personalized merchandise featuring viral match memes.

Signature Design Concept

The homepage of the epic-system will feature an interactive "Merch Carousel" where users can drag and rotate a 3D carousel of merchandise items. Each item will dynamically update with the user's uploaded meme, providing a real-time preview. The carousel will be built using @react-three/fiber for 3D rendering and framer-motion for smooth animations and transitions. Users can click on an item to zoom in for a detailed view and proceed to checkout directly from the carousel interface.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The interaction model for the epic-system will be "animated," focusing on smooth transitions and interactive elements. The single-page layout will feature moderate scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions to enhance user engagement without overwhelming the user experience. The homepage will prominently feature the interactive "Merch Carousel" as the core mechanic.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The system should ensure fast loading times for a seamless user experience.
• The platform must be responsive and accessible across various devices and screen sizes.
• Security measures should be in place to protect user data and transactions.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Python, FastAPI
• Database: MySQL or MariaDB, using Alembic for migrations
• 3D and Animation Libraries: @react-three/fiber, framer-motion

Assumptions and Constraints

• The system will be developed as a single-page application to simplify navigation and enhance user experience.
• The platform will support image uploads in common formats (e.g., JPEG, PNG).
• The checkout process will integrate with existing payment gateways for transaction processing.
