3D or 4D? Yeah, 3D.
From the get-go, 3D was the inescapable weapon of choice for the models visualisation.
You see, we could never get access to the aircrafts themselves for more than a few hours and we needed full control over the seamless transition flights between sections. This allied to the functionality of aircraft livery customisation, a custom service Hi Fly also offers, dictated the choice for us — not that that was a bad thing.
O Captain! My Captain! Wow me.
Each aircraft had to have a single section with all the necessary details. Also, each aircraft needed a dedicated page with a clear distribution of specifications, video, and photography. The Home would be reserved for the shiny Airbus A380 with an obvious and direct way to pick and choose between the rest of the fleet. One hover and a click would equal to one wow, that was the thought.
Technology
If you run the website on an older machine the code does some digging and checks what it can handle. Depending on the machine specs and connection, you can be served a high/low 3D version or, if you need a serious hardware update or have a limited connection, you will get a 2D only version of the website. Cool, hey? Are you still with me on this? Hello?
