| Abstract | Nowadays people obtain knowledge and information from the Internet. There are many businesses based on e - commerce and e - learning that uses the Internet for presenting theirs products and businesses. The Internet helps business owners to save money on advertisements. However there are many competitors on the Internet and the competition is high. For a busin ess to stand out and survive the competition, one should have a feature that attracts people to come to the website. WebGL is a new technology that provides 3D graphics on web browsers. When combined with e - commerce, WebGL can create a virtual shopping st ore that may attract lots of people to the website. However using WebGL to create virtual store has some limitations. Due to the difference of internet speed and devices, it could take long time for some consumers to access the store. This thesis studies and presents an approach to reduce time taken for consumers to access a virtual store using a cosmetic shop as a case study. The approach takes device types and internet speed in consideration. The e - commerce website and optimal 3D graphics open library we re developed. This open library is expected to provide the optimal loading time of the store by detecting the speed of connection and the type of device. 3D models used in the library were developed using 3Ds Max. Then those models were converted into Java script files. Lastly, to render 3D graphics on web browsers, three.js library, HTML5, Javascript, and PHP were used. For the e - commerce part, several technologies such as HTML5, PHP, MySQL and CSS were applied . As a result, the e - commerce website could int egrate the open library and build a virtual shopping store. This could attract more consumers to the store and increase the sale. The open library can reduce loading time of the virtual store on different types of device with different connection speeds. |
