2. Interactive 3D Puzzles from Photos
Core Feature: Transforming a personal photo into a 3D puzzle.
User Process:
1. The user uploads an image from their device.
2. The system applies basic extrusion to transform the image into a textured 3D surface (e.g., bas-relief effect).
3. The photo is automatically divided into playable puzzle pieces.
Available Interactions:
Rotate the view around the puzzle.
Zoom in/out to explore details.
Move and assemble pieces.
Suggested Technologies:
Three.js or Babylon.js for 3D model management and interactions.
Blender with Python scripts to generate 3D models and cut the pieces.
---
3. Pre-Integrated Cultural Themes
Feature: Provide pre-designed 3D puzzles inspired by cultural themes (e.g., monuments, art, iconic animals).
Available Puzzles at Launch:
2 to 3 pre-designed puzzles (e.g., African pyramids, elephants, traditional masks).
Interactions:
Same gameplay as custom puzzles.
Suggested Technologies:
Existing 3D models from libraries like Sketchfab, optimized for gameplay.
---
4. Multi-User Collaboration
Feature: Allow multiple users to solve a puzzle together.
User Process:
1. A user creates a session and shares an invitation link.
2. Invitees join the session to assemble the puzzle in real time.
3. Actions by each participant (moving/rotating pieces) are visible to others.
Suggested Technologies:
Socket.IO or Firebase Realtime Database for real-time synchronization.
---
5. Visual Feedback and Progress Tracking
Provide visual feedback to guide users:
Animation when a piece is correctly placed.
Progress bar indicating the percentage of the puzzle completed.
Suggested Technologies:
CSS animations for visual effects.
Chart.js for the progress bar.
---
6. User Dashboard
Features:
History of completed puzzles.
Tracking completion times.
Quick access to saved puzzles.
Suggested Technologies:
Firebase Firestore or PostgreSQL to store user data.
---
7. Basic Gamification
Add a competitive aspect to boost engagement:
Timer to measure how long it takes to solve a puzzle.
Local leaderboard (best times per puzzle)
Suggested Technologies:
Store scores in the database and display them with React/Vue.js.
---

Proposed Technologies:
Front-End:
Framework: React or Vue.js.
3D Library: Three.js or Babylon.js.
UI/UX: Tailwind CSS or Bootstrap.
Back-End:
Database: Firebase Firestore or PostgreSQL.
Real-Time: Socket.IO or Firebase Realtime Database.
Hosting: Heroku, Vercel, or AWS Lightsail.
3D Manipulation Tools:
Blender: To prepare 3D models and cut the puzzles.
Python (with Blender API): To automate the cutting process.
Monetization
Payments using Stripe or PayPal to unlock premium puzzles.
8. Sharing on Social media
Feature Objective: Allow users to share their completed puzzles or progress on social media platforms to showcase their achievements and attract new users.
Core Functionality:
1. After completing a puzzle (custom or pre-designed), users are given the option to share:
A screenshot of the completed puzzle.
A short message with their achievement (e.g., "I just completed a custom 3D puzzle on [Your SaaS Name]!").
A link inviting friends to try the platform.
2. Integration with major social media platforms:
Facebook.
Twitter.
Instagram (via downloadable image).
WhatsApp for private sharing. |
