[IxDA Discuss] Ajax product configurator examples

[Michael Micheletti]

I'm helping a friend who has a small business (total employees: 1, total
budget: $0 or maybe less) brainstorm ideas for a custom product configurator
for his website. Similar sites might allow you to see the clothes on a model
and change shirt colors, add various designs to a t-shirt, or customize your
new Mercedes colors, wheels, etc. He's curious to find out if this sort of
product configuration can be done well using Ajax/Web 2.0 technologies. He'd
like to avoid Flash if possible.

I've found these two examples so far:

Levolor store beta (pick a product and configure wall and window colors,
etc): http://www.levolor.com/store/
This was pretty fun to play with.

Zazzle t-shirt designs:
http://www.zazzle.com/cr/design/pt-shirt?style=basic_dark_tshirt&color=black
Not quite as direct and interactive.

Can you guys think of other similar examples?

Even better, do you know of any existing free or affordable code libraries
that do something like this?

Thanks for your help,

Michael Micheletti
