Another Jaguar Configurator for the XJ

Two years after the first Jaguar Configurator I was involved with went live, I am happy to say I was involved in the new configurator for the All New XJ.

This configurator is currently HTML based with a nice “Flash” 3d Model that lets you spin the car around to see it from all angles.

The backend is based on a product configurator/rules engine web service which can be used to drive all kinds of product configurator, automotive or otherwise.

I hope to build some controls and components for Umbraco to allow integration with the product configurator and a Content Management System, although it may be some time before I have the time!

The new configurator also contains the first Flash app I ever built: the 3D spin.  I’m still amazed at how quickly we were able to build that!

I absolutely love the Jaguar XJ; it really does help when building a new application when the product itself is so inspiring.

Since launching the XJ configurator we’ve also replaced the old XF configurator with a new XF configurator, and added in new X-Type and XK configurators as well!

US versions are also available if you are interested in building your own XJ, building an XF or building an XK!
