1. User Authentication Allow users to create accounts to save their progress. Sign up with email and password. Simple login with email/password or Google. Password reset functionality.
Suggested Technologies: Firebase Authentication or Auth0.

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. ---
Development Phases (Prioritized): Phase 1: Core Infrastructure 1. User authentication. 2. Setting up the database for users and puzzles. 3. Integration of pre-designed 3D puzzles.
Phase 2: Custom Puzzles 1. Implementation of photo upload. 2. Transformation into 3D models with simple extrusion. 3. Cutting into playable pieces.
Phase 3: Collaboration and Synchronization 1. Creation of multi-user sessions. 2. Real-time synchronization of interactions.
Phase 4: Feedback and Gamification 1. Adding visual animations and leaderboards. 2. Integrating the progress bar.

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.
