6. Signature Design Concept

The "marine-streaming" app will feature a dynamic, interactive homepage that mimics a digital ocean. Using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei, the homepage will present a 3D underwater scene where movie thumbnails float like sea creatures. Users can interact with these thumbnails by tapping to reveal more information or play the video. The scene will subtly shift with user interactions, creating a sense of depth and immersion. The app will use framer-motion for smooth transitions and animations, enhancing the overall experience.

7. Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will employ a "parallax" interaction model, providing a layered depth effect as users scroll. Decorative elements like bubbles and light rays will move at different speeds, creating a dynamic and engaging experience. Internal pages will maintain a "static" interaction model to ensure clarity and ease of use, focusing on content accessibility and readability.

8. Non-Functional Requirements

• The app must load within 3 seconds on a standard mobile network.
• The UI should be responsive and adapt to various screen sizes.
• The app should handle at least 10,000 concurrent users.
• The backend should support secure data transactions and storage.

9. Tech Stack

• Frontend: React Native, Expo
• Backend: Node.js, Express
• Database: Supabase
• Storage: Cloudinary, Supabase storage, External video URLs
• State Management: AsyncStorage

10. Assumptions and Constraints

• The app will primarily target mobile users in India.
• The app will not include a subscription system.
• The admin panel will be accessible only to authenticated users.
• The app will use free-tier services for backend and storage solutions.

11. Glossary
