Customizable and performant 3D portfolio

Abstract

Historically, portfolios have served to present oneself to potential clients by showcasing skills, abilities, and background. This traditional method of self-presentation has evolved with the advent of digital technology. In today’s competitive online environment, the need to display one’s professional trajectory has never been more critical and more accessible. Recruiters and potential clients delve deep into these digital representations for assessments and reassurance. As such, an online portfolio has become a crucial component of one’s professional journey. This project offers a glimpse into a not-so-distant future in which everyone might have a personal website to present themselves to the world. Currently, the most prevalent forms of such personal representation are work and social network profiles. However, these platforms offer limited customization and control over one’s online image. While dedicated website profiling is not yet commonplace, the increasing desire for personalized online presence indicates a clear market for such technologies. The final application aims to provide an edge over the numerous visually static 2D portfolios available today. It achieves this by developing a 3D immersive experience, allowing users to represent themselves, customize their environment, and visualize relevant information in a dynamic, interactive format. This product is designed for users seeking a more realistic and personalized online presence that leaves a lasting impression, transcending the flat, static presentation of traditional online portfolios. In the final phase of the project, we will present the results of this application, showcasing a final product that meets the specified requirements. The product’s effectiveness will be evaluated through individual user satisfaction tests and performance benchmarks. To ensure its performance, the product will be tested in two distinct environments. This will allow us to determine its limits and complexity across both devices, ensuring a comprehensive analysis of the user experience.
