This document outlines the system requirements for the development of the raven-rolex website, focusing on a sleek product showcase and e-commerce capabilities.

Signature Design Concept

The homepage of the raven-rolex website will feature an interactive 3D carousel using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei. This carousel will display luxury products as floating, rotating objects that users can click to explore further. Each product will have a detailed view with animations triggered by framer-motion, providing a dynamic and engaging experience. The background will subtly shift colors based on the time of day, using gsap for smooth transitions, enhancing the luxurious feel of the site.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will utilize a "parallax" interaction model, creating a sense of depth and immersion. Layers of content will move at different speeds as users scroll, with decorative elements like atmospheric blobs and distant shapes enhancing the visual storytelling. Internal pages, such as the product details and checkout, will adopt a "static" model to prioritize clarity and ease of use.
