Mercedes-Benz
In 2010, I developed an interactive 360-degree preview for Mercedes‑Benz using Flash, allowing users to virtually “sit inside” their vehicle interiors and explore from every angle. Although the original project is no longer publicly accessible, I remain proud of the technical creativity and polish it required at the time.
Bringing Interiors to Life with Flash & Composite Imagery
I used carefully stitched photographic imagery of car interiors to build a navigable, interactive experience in Flash. Users could click-and-drag to rotate their view, zoom in on details, and examine controls, materials, and finishes. It was an early example of immersive product visualization — a powerful sales and marketing tool long before 3D-WebGL and modern interactive experiences became commonplace.
Attention to Detail & Performance
Because the project needed to run smoothly in users’ browsers circa 2010 — often on modest hardware — I optimized assets, ensured fast loading, and carefully balanced image quality with performance. Achieving seamless rotation and a responsive feel while using then-current browser and Flash plugin limitations required constrained yet precise execution.
Legacy of a Forward-Looking Feature
At the time, this 360° preview stood out among automotive marketing experiences. It helped customers better understand high-end interiors and conveyed a sense of luxury and craftsmanship that supported Mercedes-Benz’s brand promise. Though technology has moved on, this project remains a strong example of my ability to execute creative, interactive, and technically demanding work.
