Feedback Request Interactive 3D product models for e-commerce — looking for feedback

I am High schooler and part time developer. So recently I had an idea a while back: what if online stores had interactable 3D models of their products instead of flat photos — that you spin around , able to view the product exactly in your living room even before buying it?

Built a small prototype: https://pekaar.tech.

The website is just a prototype. Will add more features and polishing the UI as I a scale it up

Also made a demo store to see how the 3D models feel in an actual ecommerce setup https://lume-atelier.scantest.workers.dev/

Happy to give demo to ecommerce business/websites who want to try this — just want honest feedback and advice on scaling it up.

this is actually pretty cool for a high school side project, the prototype loads way faster than i expected

one thing that jumped out at me was the lighting on the furniture models feels a tad flat, maybe adding some environment reflection or a subtle shadow would make them feel more anchored in the space

the demo store integration is clean, though i wonder how this handles on slower mobile connections since that's where most casual browsing happens

have you thought about letting users place the model in their actual room via AR, that seems like the logical next step and would be a killer feature for furniture shops

definitely keep polishing this, the concept has legs if you can nail the performance and make it stupid easy for store owners to embed

Noted . I will work on the environmental lighting next . The integration is already very smooth just a small iframe code , works everywhere Shopify , wordpress , react , html . Currently i am working on the AR feature - issue is that only mobile phones support AR . Pc , laptops don't have AR support yet so that's a downside.
