Project Overview
3D Visualization Tool for Airline Seat Reservations is a web application designed for airline companies and travel apps, offering users an engaging and dynamic 3D experience when booking airplane seats.
This functional app allows users to select and reserve seats on an airplane seat map, with real-time visualization in 3D. Once a seat is reserved, its texture dynamically updates, providing immediate visual feedback. The app also features a 360-degree view of the airplane for enhanced interactivity.
Beyond airline reservations, this tool can be adapted for similar use cases, such as 3D virtual seat reservations for cinemas, theaters, buses, or trains.
Key Features
-
Dynamic Seat Reservations:
- Reserve seats on a 2D map and see them update in 3D instantly.
- Seat textures change to indicate reserved spots, offering an intuitive interface.
-
360-Degree Airplane View:
- Rotate and explore the airplane from any angle for a comprehensive experience.
-
Reusable Components:
- Built with modular React components for seamless integration into other projects.
-
Potential Use Cases:
- Virtual seat reservations for cinemas, theaters, buses, or trains.
- Can serve as the foundation for various 3D web apps.
Upcoming Features
The project is evolving, with exciting features planned for future updates:
-
Interactive Safety Demonstrations:
