Trackaroo: a 3D website concept for an offline navigation app
A scroll-driven 3D website concept for Trackaroo, an Australian offline navigation app - the page slowly loses signal to show what the product protects you from.
Offline navigation is a feature most people only value once it is too late. The site had to make visitors feel the moment the bars disappear - before they ever need the app.
Goals
01Make an offline feature feel urgent before it is needed
02Explain BackTrack™ without a feature list
03Build early-access sign-ups
02 - The idea
People only value offline navigation once the bars disappear - so the website makes them disappear.
03 - Approach
Key decisions and why
The scroll is a journey from 4G to no service. A 3D topographic terrain, a live position readout and a signal indicator degrade as you move deeper, while BackTrack™ quietly draws your route home.
Type shifts from solid to outlined as the signal weakens - the interface itself tells the story of losing connection, then shows how Trackaroo keeps you oriented.
Decision 01
A journey from 4G to no service
The signal indicator and position readout degrade as you scroll deeper.
Decision 02
3D topographic terrain
The landscape sets the stakes better than any photo.
Decision 03
Type that loses its fill
Headlines shift from solid to outlined as the signal weakens.
Decision 04
BackTrack™ draws the way home
The key feature appears exactly when the story needs it.
04 - Live experience
