Skydome

Today, our online 3D configurator introduces an innovative feature: adding a skydome as a realistic background for virtual products. With this feature, users can not only virtually assemble their product but also view it directly in a lifelike, immersive environment.

Benefits of this technology

• Enhanced experience: Customers see the product directly in a realistic context, making the presentation much more convincing.
• Realistic product display: The skydome gives the virtual product a natural place in, for example, a living room, office, or showroom.
• Increased confidence: A credible representation of the product in a real space increases customer confidence in the final result.
• Faster decision-making: Customers get a better understanding more quickly, simplifying purchasing decisions.

Technical implementation: the power of ‘skybox=1’

This innovation has been made technically possible by adding the parameter skybox=1 to the system. Activating this parameter enables loading a skydome as a background around the 3D model. The skydome ensures that the virtual product is surrounded by the chosen panoramic environment from every perspective, contributing to an even more realistic and immersive experience.

Practical application

Adding a skydome is quick and easy within the configurator. Once the appropriate image is available, you only need to add the parameter skybox=1 to the settings. The configurator then automatically loads the skydome, allowing the product to be viewed in any environment with a single click.

This innovation underlines our commitment to realism and ease of use in online product presentation, providing both businesses and consumers with a powerful new tool for product experience.
