Eventopia

Project Story

About the Project

Bring your imagination to life with our app, the ultimate creative tool for stunning 3D visualizations. Whether you're planning your dream wedding, designing a movie set, or visualizing a book scene, our platform empowers you to place 3D assets anywhere to create breathtaking scenarios. Perfect for planners, designers, and dreamers, this app turns your vision into reality.

What Inspired Us

Eventopia was born from a blend of creativity and practicality. Vishal, an avid planner of outdoor events, envisioned a tool that empowers people to visualize their ideas before they come to life. On the other hand, Trishala, a passionate writer, wanted a way to create immersive backgrounds for the novels she crafts in her spare time.

During a brainstorming session, we realized these two ideas shared a common goal: enabling people to bring their visions to reality through visualization. By merging these inspirations, we created Eventopia—a versatile app that caters to planners, writers, and creators alike.

What We Learned

Throughout this journey, we gained valuable insights into the challenges and intricacies of building a versatile app like Eventopia.

Technical Growth: We deepened our understanding of integrating Google Maps 3D elements, managing user interactions, and creating seamless visual experiences. Handling bugs and inconsistencies in 3D rendering pushed us to think creatively and problem-solve effectively.
User-Centric Design: We learned the importance of designing with the end user in mind, ensuring our app remains intuitive, adaptable, and meets various creative needs.

How We Built It

Technology Stack: We used NextJS for the frontend due to its dynamic rendering capabilities and Google Maps API for real-world context in visualizations and we finally used Supabase for OAuth.
Development Process: We started with Figma for wireframes and prototypes to define the user flow, then implemented the core functionalities of asset placement and real-time previews. Continuous testing and iteration ensured a seamless user experience.

Challenges We Faced

Performance Optimization: Ensuring real-time rendering without compromising performance was challenging, especially for mobile platforms.
User Intuition: Designing an interface that caters to both tech-savvy users and beginners required extensive testing and iteration.

Looking Ahead

This project is just the beginning. We aim to expand the library of 3D assets, introduce collaborative features, and explore integrations with AR/VR technologies to take creativity to the next level.
