The challenge

POM’s pepper spray comes in 72 different varieties (3 models, 3 colors, 8 band colors).  

POM different configurations

Scrolling through 72 different images is very confusing for shoppers: 

  • they don’t discern the difference between each model
  • they don’t understand they can shop different versions of the same unit

The solution

  • POM embedded a 3D configurator on its Shopify website where you can easily select a model, choose a background color and customize the band color. All in one place! 

Process

The process to build POM’s 3D Configurator was pretty straightforward.

01
3D Models - Optimization
Sketchfab optimized POM’s existing 3D models for the web (textures and coloration)
02
3D Configurator - Development
Front - end development of the 3D Configurator leveraging Sketchfab’s Viewer API
