Shadow-Bot System Requirements Document

Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system requirements for the "shadow-bot" project. This project aims to develop a premium website for a hotel, incorporating advanced features and a user-friendly interface. The document will detail the functional and non-functional requirements, user personas, user flows, and design concepts specific to the "shadow-bot" project.

System Overview

The "shadow-bot" project is designed to create a premium website for a hotel, providing users with an intuitive and engaging experience. The website will cater to various user personas, including guests, hotel staff, and administrators, ensuring seamless interaction and management of hotel services.

Functional Requirements as Story Points

• As a Guest, I should be able to view hotel room availability and book a room online.
• As a Guest, I should be able to view and select from various hotel amenities and services.
• As a Guest, I should be able to provide feedback and rate my stay at the hotel.
• As a Hotel Staff, I should be able to manage room bookings and availability.
• As a Hotel Staff, I should be able to update hotel amenities and service offerings.
• As an Admin, I should be able to manage user accounts and permissions.
• As an Admin, I should be able to generate reports on hotel occupancy and service usage.

User Personas

• Guest: Individuals looking to book a stay at the hotel, view amenities, and provide feedback.
• Hotel Staff: Employees responsible for managing bookings, updating services, and ensuring guest satisfaction.
• Admin: Personnel with the authority to manage user accounts, permissions, and generate reports.

Core User Flows

• Guest views amenities -> selects service -> books service -> receives confirmation.
• Hotel Staff updates room availability -> manages bookings -> updates amenities.
• Admin manages user accounts -> sets permissions -> generates occupancy reports.

Visuals Colors and Theme

• primary_light: #534BAE (Light Indigo)
• secondary: #FF7043 (Coral)
• accent: #FFC107 (Amber)
• highlight: #FF9800 (Orange)
• bg: #F5F5F5 (Light Gray)
• surface: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8) (White)

Signature Design Concept

The homepage of the "shadow-bot" project will feature an interactive galaxy map where each star represents a different feature or section of the hotel website. Users can click on a star to open a detailed view of that feature, drag to rotate the galaxy, and hover to highlight connections between features. This concept will be implemented using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei for a 3D interactive experience.

Landing Hero Motion Brief

The landing hero will depict a seamless transition from a guest's initial search for a room to the final booking confirmation. The animation will start with a search bar where users input their preferences, followed by a visual journey through the hotel, showcasing rooms and amenities. The final scene will show a booking confirmation, emphasizing the ease and satisfaction of the booking process. This will be achieved using motion/react for smooth transitions and animations.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

• Intended Interaction Model: Animated
• The landing page will feature moderate scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions, with spring physics applied to interactive elements. This approach will enhance the user experience by providing a polished and engaging interface.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The website must be accessible and comply with WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
• The website should support multiple languages, including English and Hindi.
