Product Lens

  • Is this pattern useful for real customers? Yes
  • What kind of customer use case does this support?
    • Guided product stories where objects appear/disappear across steps.
    • Feature comparison scenes with predefined arrangements.
    • Presentation flows where one click changes scene composition and framing.
  • Does Thob feel strong enough for this use case?
    • Partial. The pattern is possible by combining object visibility states and Perspective Camera positions, but my first instinct was button-based one-click switching and that did not work reliably end-to-end.
    • A practical fallback is radio-button switching across preconfigured scene-state combinations.
  • What would improve the experience?
    • One button should update all linked properties simultaneously, or fast enough that transitions feel instant.
    • Better multi-target binding UX for visibility, transforms, and camera props.
    • Clearer feedback/debugging for whether each bound prop was successfully updated.
