This Is Au Garage Web Application

Introduction

Au Garage began as a project for Monsieur Parrot—to help him succeed on exam day at STUDI, my online web developer school (2022–24). Today, the project has evolved dramatically into a cutting-edge automotive digital platform featuring VR headset integration and an expanded lineup of electric vehicles, including models inspired by Tesla.

Project Origin

Initially created for Monsieur Parrot, a local mechanic, this project was designed as a hands-on demonstration for my studies at STUDI, the online French web developer school. It served as a practical exercise to showcase modern web development skills.

What started as a local project for Vincent Parrot has now transformed into a dynamic narrative. In the evolved story, another entrepreneur acquires the garage and modernizes its operations with VR technology and a broader range of electric vehicles—ushering in a new era for Garage V. Parrot.
