Product Lens

  • Is this pattern useful for real customers? Yes
  • What kind of customer use case does this support?
    • Product inspection: users switch between front/side/top detail viewpoints.
    • Guided tours: sequenced camera jumps between key points of interest.
    • Storytelling/marketing: deliberate framing changes to control narrative focus.
  • Does Thob feel strong enough for this use case?
    • Partial.
    • From my Task 1 test, there are two ways:
      • Way 1: three separate meshes/scenes with one perspective camera setup each, then toggle visibility using radio buttons. This was stable.
      • Way 2: one mesh + three perspective cameras, toggling Make Default using radio buttons. This was unreliable (sometimes appears, then disappears after repeated toggles; sometimes works only at certain positions).
    • So today, Thob is okay for workaround-based flows, but direct camera preset switching reliability is not strong enough yet.
  • What would improve the experience?
    • Native camera preset system with explicit position + target/focus per preset.
    • Clear interaction binding: control -> target camera/preset -> action.
    • Deterministic behavior under fast repeated switching.
    • Better visual/debug indication of which camera is active and why.
