On February 17, 2023, the 3D steering wheel configurator received an Awwwards Honorable Mention.
What it was recognized for #
The idea was to keep the model front and center and the interface out of the way. Finishes, accents and details change live, with rich lighting and motion effects that keep the product feeling premium and kinetic, and every interaction happens on the wheel itself, not in menus. When the setup is right, you can save the configuration and buy the product exactly as designed, so configuration and commerce are one flow.
It remains my reference for what a configurator should feel like. The launch post is here, a later experiment in the same spirit is Fun Wheel, and the full list of mentions is in the blog. The project is on its project page.
