A 'glass family' was a concept product that used stained glass to create a representation of a family, similar to the 'stick people' that you see on the back windows of many vehicles. Various elements of the 'family' could be customized to create each custom product, including:
- Family Surname
- Number of family members
- Name of each family member
- Member type (Adult/Child)
- Member Sex (Male/Female)
- Shirt Color/Pants Color (Male)
- Dress Color (Female)
This prototype was built as a proof of concept. The general idea was to create a dynamic client side web page that could:
- collect the configuration of a 'glass family' (configurable elements shown above)
- calculate a price for the configured product
- populate an html form that could be posted to the Paypal online payment service, to allow purchase/payment processing
This prototype was built using knockout.js.
The prototype contains some basic filler pages such as About and Main, but the primary work exists with the configure.html page. Before any styling could be applied to the page, the project was dropped by the client.
