The Development Process
STEP 1 – PREPARING THE GALLERY SPACE
The first thing we will do is set up your virtual gallery space.
If you are using a ready-made gallery then we will ask you to choose the materials used for the floor, walls, doors and other elements in the gallery. The amount of choice you have will depend on the gallery space and the type of subscription you have.
If you are creating a bespoke gallery then we will ask you to send any floor plans, measurements, photographs or inspiration images that will help us to create the 3D space. We will arrange a video call with you (and your team) to present our designs and to make decisions about the design of the virtual gallery.
STEP 2 – EXHIBITION CONTENT
We work closely with new clients to help set up their first exhibition.
If you are only producing one exhibition, or if you prefer to have a fully-managed gallery, then we will work with you throughout the whole development process.
If you have a subscription we will help you to prepare the first exhibition and then give you control of the online gallery management system (GMS) so that you can continue to manage your gallery and create new exhibitions.
You can add new images to your virtual gallery using the gallery management system (GMS). You will then be able to display these in your virtual gallery.
You will need to contact us when adding new videos, audio recordings and 3D models. This is to ensure that all multimedia and 3D content is correctly formatted and of a high quality. We will then add this content to your GMS archive and you will then be able to add it to future exhibitions.
STEP 3 – PUBLISHING & SHARING
When your first exhibition is ready to be published we will set up online streaming for your virtual gallery, and/or provide you with a link to download your virtual gallery.
If you wish to add your gallery to a web page (or multiple pages) we will send you a short snippet of HTML code. You can copy and paste this into your web site to create a streaming window. Your visitors will be able to interact with this and explore the virtual gallery. You can set the size of the streaming window, and your visitors can make it full-screen.
If you want to download your virtual gallery, we will send you a link to each version (Windows PC or Mac OS). You can then share links or files with your audience.
If you have a subscription and you are adding new videos, audio or 3D models, we can update your streaming code once per month, and provide a new download links once per month. These new versions will include the newly added content.
