**Caption:** **“Step into ECHO — a forgotten future is waiting to be discovered.”**
Inspiration
We wanted to turn a website into an experience rather than just a collection of pages. ECHO was inspired by futuristic cities, abandoned digital worlds, and interactive sci-fi storytelling.
What it does
ECHO lets users explore an abandoned futuristic city in 3D, interact with hidden locations, uncover fragments of its history, and discover the AI still active at the heart of the city.
How we built it
We are building ECHO using React, Three.js, React Three Fiber, GSAP, JavaScript, and CSS, combining 3D environments, animations, interactive elements, and cinematic camera transitions.
Challenges we ran into
The biggest challenges were designing an immersive experience while keeping the website smooth and accessible, managing 3D assets and animations, and making the interactions feel natural rather than like a conventional website.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of creating a concept that blends storytelling, 3D exploration, and web interaction into one experience, making the website itself part of the story.
What we learned
We learned how 3D web technologies can be combined with traditional web development to create interactive experiences, and how important performance, visual consistency, and user experience are in 3D websites.
What's next for ECHO The Last Digital City
We plan to expand the city, add more interactive locations and story elements, improve the environment and animations, and make the experience more immersive with sound and richer visual effects.
