One of my clients, a growing home builder that constructed master-planned communities in the Inland Empire, needed a way to:
- Show selection of released homes available for purchase.
- Demonstrate customizability of floor plans.
- Present in a simple way for easy communication between the sales team & customer.
My solution to this was a kiosk designed from software down to hardware in order to meet the clients needs while optimizing the available budget.
To realize this goal, the project was separated into 5 separate parts:
- Software Development
- Asset Development
- Resource Usage Testing
- Hardware design
- Cloud Deployment/maintainence/redundancy Infrastructure design
Software Development
Utilizing the blueprint system as well as diving in to c++ wherever optimization was needed (shaders), the software was designed over the course of a month and included a:
- Site Map
- Floorplan options for all models
- realtime 3D tour walkthrough of homes
Asset Development
Original assets for the Kiosk were all designed using 3ds Max, Unreal engine, and adobe creative suite. I Worked with the Creative Interior Director of the company and brainstormed moodboards in order to aid in the creation of the final product. The actual UI for the final kiosk software was also of original design to match the company’s aesthetic.
