Product Lens

  • Is this pattern useful for real customers? Yes
  • What kind of customer use case does this support?
    • Product explainers with step-by-step reveal of features.
    • Guided tours where camera framing and object visibility change by narrative step.
    • Sales/demo journeys that require reliable forward/backward and jump navigation.
  • Does Thob feel strong enough for this use case?
    • Partial to strong, depending on expectations.
    • For reliability, yes: using three prebuilt meshes and radio-button visibility toggles gave consistent step switching in any order, including reset/default.
    • For presentation quality, partial: transitions are instant, so the narrative feels less smooth than vanilla and r3f.
  • What would improve the experience?
    • Native guided-flow primitive that groups camera + transform + visibility per step.
    • Built-in transition controls (duration/easing) for cinematic step changes.
    • Better editor UX for step ordering, jump behavior, and reset/default definition.
