System Requirements Document for icy-project

1. Introduction

The icy-project is a web application designed to facilitate the creation of AI-generated images. The primary audience for this product is individuals interested in generating images using AI technology. The platform provides a seamless experience for users to input prompts and receive AI-generated images as outputs.

2. System Overview

The icy-project delivers a web-based platform where users can create AI-generated images. The system is designed with a cinematic future tech aesthetic, inspired by Gleb Kuznetsov, focusing on dark voids and glowing, futuristic interfaces. The application consists of three main pages: Landing, Create Image, and Image Result. The AI image creator is the sole persona interacting with the system, using it to generate and review images.

2a. Product Interpretation and Delivery Boundary

The product is delivered as a web application with custom UI components. It does not require user accounts or identity continuity, allowing anonymous access to all pages. The system integrates with an image-generation execution service to fulfill image requests. The current scope excludes any additional functionalities beyond AI image creation.

7. Signature Design Concept

The Landing page features a full-bleed 3D scene with floating glass panels displaying the AI process. The dark background with electric cyan and violet glows creates an immersive experience. The hero section includes a floating glass panel with an animation of the AI image generation process, enhanced by electric cyan glows under the glass surfaces.

8. Interaction Model & Motion Direction

• Interaction Model: Animated
• Motion Tempo: Cinematic
• Hero Dimensionality: webgl
• Landing Hero Motion Brief:
  • Focal Subject: AI image generation process
  • Input→Transformation→Outcome: User inputs a prompt, the system processes it, and the result is displayed as an AI-generated image.
  • Motion Vocabulary: Continuous slow orbit, parallax effects, light sweeps
  • First Frame: A dark void with floating glass panels
  • Reduced-Motion State: Static image with minimal animation

9. Non-Functional Requirements

• Performance: The system should handle image generation requests efficiently, with minimal latency.
• Usability: The interface should be intuitive and easy to navigate for users with varying levels of technical expertise.
• Accessibility: Ensure the platform is accessible to users with disabilities, adhering to WCAG 2.1 standards.

10. Tech Stack
