# First-entry avatar onboarding

| Feature | Parent Epic | Delivery status | Status source | Owner | Approved for Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `3DARCH-FT-10` | [3DARCH-EP-2 — Secure Access and Personal Setup](../../3darch-ep-2.md) | `IN_BACKLOG` | `EXACT` | 3D Architecture Wizzard team | No |

## Description

Enable a first-time user to preview, rotate, zoom, choose, and persist an in-world avatar before entering the workplace.

## User or operator problem

First-time users need to choose an embodied workplace identity before entering the shared environment.

## Expected value

Ensures every new participant enters with a persisted, recognizable in-world representation.

## Scope

Includes first-entry gating, avatar preview controls, selection persistence, onboarding completion, and entry with the selected avatar.

### Exclusions

- Administrator access, account recovery, display-name editing, and unwired self-service logout are excluded.

## Acceptance outcomes

- [ ] An unonboarded user cannot enter the workplace before completing avatar selection.
- [ ] Available avatars can be previewed from multiple viewing angles.
- [ ] Confirmation persists the avatar and onboarding completion.
- [ ] The selected avatar appears when the user enters.

## Dependencies

- [3DARCH-FT-9 — Enterprise sign-in and session continuity](./3darch-ft-9.md)

## Risks

- Reselecting the existing avatar can fail to mark onboarding complete.
