We are developing a scene that will involve heavily interacting with a "touch screen monitor" in the scene.. Because the workflow of the touch screen will need to be dynamic we are creating a REST API that Unity will fetch JSON data and use that to build out the various parts of the UI. For instance, we get a JSON file that has a list of users and attributes and build out UI elements with that data.
The question is should I build out the display and underlying logic as a 2D scene that I add in to our 3D room or just build it all in the 3D scene.
I want to abstract away as much of the logic as I can for the interactive screen; I want to make sure we can drop this screen in a different Scene down the road without too much reverse-engineering.
Sorry if this is a straightforward question, my background is software dev, not game design.
