Interactive 3D Car Showroom Experience

The proud-cars app will feature an immersive 3D car showroom as the centerpiece of its home page. Upon opening the app, users will be greeted with a rotating 3D model of a premium car that they can interact with. Users can:

  • Swipe to rotate the car and view it from different angles.
  • Tap on hotspots (e.g., wheels, interior, engine) to reveal detailed specifications.
  • Change car colors dynamically with a color picker.
  • Zoom in/out for a closer look at specific features.

The background will feature a subtle animated gradient that shifts between dark metallic tones, enhancing the premium feel. Micro-interactions, such as a soft glow when tapping hotspots, will add to the futuristic experience. This design will make the app instantly captivating and memorable.

  • Performance: The app must load within 3 seconds on a 4G network.
  • Scalability: The backend should support up to 1 million active users.
  • Security: User data must be encrypted, and authentication must use secure protocols (e.g., OAuth 2.0).
  • Localization: The app must support PKR currency and Urdu language (future phase).
  • Cross-Platform: The app must function seamlessly on both Android and iOS devices.

8. Tech Stack
