System Requirements Document (SRD) — turbo-platform

Document ID: TPL-SRD-001
Version: 1.2
Date: 2026-03-16
Status: Updated

1. Introduction

turbo-platform is a cutting-edge, scalable solution for managing dynamic QR codes and delivering browser-based Augmented Reality (AR) experiences. The platform bridges physical product packaging with digital interactivity, enabling brands to create immersive storytelling experiences that engage consumers directly through their mobile browsers, without requiring app downloads.

This document outlines the system requirements for the Phase 1 MVP of turbo-platform, ensuring alignment with the project's goals and user needs. The platform is tailored for the U.S. market, with considerations for locale-specific defaults, such as currency (USD), timezone (EST), and compliance with U.S. data privacy regulations.

2. System Overview

turbo-platform is a modular, secure, and scalable WebAR platform that empowers brands to create, manage, and analyze dynamic QR codes linked to AR experiences. The MVP focuses on delivering:

• Dynamic QR Code Management: Create, update, and track QR codes without reprinting physical media.
• Media Asset Pipeline: Upload and optimize 3D models, videos, and images for seamless AR delivery.
• Browser-Based AR Viewer: Cross-device compatibility for iOS, Android, and desktop browsers.
• Brand Customization: Configurable overlays (logo, headline, CTA, colors) within AR experiences.
• Self-Service Dashboard: Intuitive tools for non-technical users to manage QR codes, assets, and analytics.
• Post-AR Engagement Features: Social sharing and "Save for Later" options to amplify campaign reach.
• Scan Analytics: Real-time metrics on QR code usage, including device type, location, and time-series data.
• Selective SRD Regeneration: Ability for users to manually trigger SRD updates to reflect new requirements.

3. Functional Requirements

3.1 User Stories (MVP)

• As a Consumer, I should be able to scan a QR code on product packaging and instantly view an AR experience in my browser.
• As a Brand Manager, I should be able to create a dynamic QR code and download it as PNG/SVG for printing.
• As a Brand Manager, I should be able to upload a 3D model, video, or image, and the system should automatically optimize it for AR delivery.
• As a Brand Manager, I should be able to link a QR code to an asset and configure my brand overlay (logo, colors, CTA).
• As a Brand Manager, I should be able to update the asset linked to a QR code without reprinting the physical code.
• As a Brand Manager, I should be able to view scan analytics (count, devices, locations, time-series) for my QR codes.
• As a Brand Manager, I should be able to enable post-AR engagement features, such as social sharing and "Save for Later."
• As a Developer, I should be able to upload raw 3D assets and receive optimized outputs (GLB + USDZ).
• As an Admin, I should be able to manage user accounts, permissions, and platform settings.
• As a Consumer, I should be able to share the AR experience on social media or save the link for later use.
• As a User, I should be able to selectively regenerate the System Requirements Document (SRD) to reflect updated requirements.

4. User Personas

Brand Manager / Marketer (Primary)

• Creates and manages QR codes for product packaging.
• Uploads brand assets (3D models, videos, images).
• Configures brand overlays and publishes AR experiences.
• Reviews scan analytics to measure campaign performance.
• Requires fully visual, self-service tools with no coding knowledge.

Consumer (Primary)

• Scans QR codes on physical product packaging.
• Expects instant AR experience in browser (< 5 seconds).
• Uses iOS or Android smartphones.
• Engages with post-AR features like social sharing or saving links.

Developer (Secondary)

• Uploads and manages 3D models programmatically.
• Interested in API access for pipeline integration.
• Understands 3D file formats (FBX, OBJ, GLB, USDZ).

Admin (Secondary)

• Platform operator managing users and settings.
• Monitors system health and usage.

5. Visuals Colors and Theme

Color Palette

Theme

The visual design combines bold, high-energy colors with sleek modern gradients to evoke a sense of speed and innovation. Subtle animations and dynamic transitions create an engaging user experience that feels premium and futuristic.

6. Signature Design Concept

Interactive Galaxy Map Homepage

The homepage will feature an interactive galaxy map where each star represents a feature or section of the platform. Users can navigate the galaxy by zooming, panning, and clicking on stars to explore features like QR code management, asset pipeline, analytics, and more.

• Visuals: A dark, cosmic background with glowing stars and nebulae. Stars pulse gently to indicate interactivity.
• Animations: Smooth transitions as users zoom into a star, revealing a detailed view of the feature it represents.
• Micro-Interactions: Hovering over a star displays a tooltip with the feature name and a brief description.
• Color Shifts: The galaxy's colors subtly morph based on the time of day (e.g., warm tones during the day, cool tones at night).
• CTA Integration: A prominent "Get Started" button floats in the center of the galaxy, inviting users to dive into the platform.

This design will make the homepage unforgettable, setting the tone for turbo-platform's innovative and dynamic branding.

9. Assumptions and Constraints

Assumptions

• Consumers have access to standard mobile browsers (Safari, Chrome).
• QR codes will be printed at sufficient resolution for reliable scanning.
• Brands will supply their own 3D models, videos, and images.
• Initial deployment targets the U.S. market.

Constraints

• Asset file size maximum: 25MB.
• iOS Safari has no native WebXR AR — requires USDZ fallback.
• No native mobile app — browser-only.
• Single-tenant for MVP (multi-tenancy in Phase 2).

10. Glossary

This updated SRD reflects the inclusion of post-AR engagement features and the ability for users to selectively regenerate the document to reflect updated requirements. Let me know if there are any additional refinements you'd like to make!
