The live VRLab website, designed and developed by Celesria
DESIGN / CONTENT / CODE / DEPLOYMENT

I designed, built, and deployed the website for VRLab, a lab working with digital twins, real-time simulation, and AI. My work covered the visual design, page structure and content, and coding.

The website introduces the lab, explains its process through an interactive diagram, and gives industry and academic visitors direct paths into the work.

THE COMMUNICATION CHALLENGE

Give visitors
a way into
technical research.

VRLab’s website brings together research, industry applications, publications, and AI demonstrations. A visitor needs both an understandable introduction and a direct route to the material relevant to them.

The current structure addresses those needs at different levels: a short statement of the lab’s work, a three-step explanation, audience-specific pages, and a project collection.

THREE DECISIONS VISIBLE IN THE PRODUCT

Clarity at each level.

01

Separate the visitor paths.

Industry and Academia have dedicated pages in the main navigation and paired pathways on the homepage. Visitors can go straight to the context that matches their interest.

02

Explain the process through interaction.

The digital-twin diagram has three selectable stages. Selecting a stage updates the central label and its explanation, connecting an abstract term to a concrete sequence.

03

Connect the overview to the work.

Selected projects appear on the homepage with media, descriptions, and links to videos. Projects, Publications, and VRLab.ai remain directly available in the navigation.

INTERACTION DETAIL

A diagram with
a purpose.

Real environment → Digital twin → Interact & test.

Each stage is a button. The implementation keeps the selected stage in React state and presents the corresponding explanation in a live region. Pointer movement adds depth to the diagram; the buttons provide the actual information.

IMPLEMENTATION & CONSTRAINTS

Built as a system
of pages.

Reusable structure

Shared header and footer components keep navigation consistent. Project content and interactive components sit separately from page layouts, allowing the same patterns to appear across the site.

Responsive presentation

The layout reflows for smaller screens. The mobile capture below shows the same live homepage at 390 pixels wide, rather than a separate mockup.

A static hosting workflow

The local project includes an export script that prepares route-specific HTML and release-specific assets for the existing hosting setup. This is a concrete implementation constraint behind the site, beyond its visual presentation.
