Virtual Gallery Spaces

Choose a ready-made gallery or work with us to create your own virtual space. Recreate a real location or design something original.

 

Ready-made galleries

Our ready-made galleries are individually priced. This includes the Curation Basic Package:

£270: Square Gallery, Long Gallery, Tee Gallery, Little Gem

£360: Bright Space, Jewel Gallery, Workshop, Courtyard*

£450: Light Box, Chambers Galleries, Minka Galleries*, Atrium*, Plaza*

  • This is the total price you will pay. It includes all features of the Curation Basic Package.
  • You can add further copies of your virtual gallery at one-third of this price. This allows you have multiple exhibitions on display at the same time, and your audience will be able to select which exhibition they want to see. Each additional copy of your virtual gallery costs one-third of the original price (i.e. £90, £120, £150, or £180). For example, your first exhition might cost £270 to set up, but you can then add further shows for as little as £90 each.
  • There are extra services and options available when opening a virtual gallery. Additional options are detailed below. Contact us to get started or to discuss the options with us.

Recreate a Real Location

Any real location can be recreated in 3D. This digital space can then be used as a virtual gallery for any number of exhibitions.

  • Unlike a real space, you can have multiple copies of the same gallery, each with a different exhibition on display. Your audience will be able to explore different versions of the gallery with multiple exhibitions on display.
  • All of the features listed in the basic package are included when recreating a real location. Keep reading below to see the additional options for Exhibition Content, and for Publishing & Distribution.
  • The cost of recreating a real location will depend on the complexity of the design. Please contact us to find out more.

Custom Gallery Design

There are almost no limitations to the design of a virtual gallery. This is one of the many benefits of a virtual space. It can be anything you imagine. We will work with you to create something original and totally unique to you.

  • A custom gallery could be something totally new, or it could be a modified version of a real location, or a remix of one of our ready-made galleries.
  • All of the features listed in the basic package are included when designing a custom gallery. Keep reading below to see the additional options for Exhibition Content, and for Publishing & Distribution.
  • The cost of designing a custom gallery will depend on the complexity of the design. Please contact us to find out more.

Exhibition Content

The following features are included with every virtual gallery:

  • Unlimited Images: All virtual exhibitions include as many images as you like, up to the capacity of your virtual gallery.
  • Exhibition Information: Each exhibit in a virtual gallery can have additional information attached to it, so your audience can read more about it and follow links to further information.

Additional Multi-media Content

Video & Audio files = £10 per file

  • Multimedia files come in many different formats and at a range of resolutions and levels of quality. We will reformat yor media to ensure consistent quality control and so that files load quickly within the virtual gallery.

3D Models = £30 to add, £90+ to scan

  • If you have a 3D model, this can be added to your virtual gallery
  • If you have a 3D object that has not been digitized or modeled in 3D, we can help you to scan this
  • All 3D models will need to be checked and may need to be edited before inclusions. Contact us if you have your own 3D models, or if you would like to scan an object.

2.5D Virtual Images = £20 each

  • This is a low-cost alternative to scanning a 3D object. It uses regular photographs to create a 2D image that can be placed in the middle of a 3D space.
  • This is sometimes a better option than scanning because it is faster, easier and better-suited to some types of 3D objects

Content Editing

Video & Audio editing = £10 for Cutting, £20 for Titles

  • Cutting of Video or Audio: We can remove the start and/or end of a recording so that only the section you want is included
  • Video Titles or Watermarking: We can add a title screen at the start and/or end of your video to show your chosen branding or credits, or add a watermark image throughout your video

Image Editing = £5 per file

  • We can professionally edit your images. This includes adjusting brightness, contrast and colour saturation, as well as cropping and squaring your image. Editing is often important if you are using photographs of fine art. We can remove the background and frame around a picture, and make corrections for poor lighting or muted colours.

You will be sent a copy of all the files we edit for you. If you send us unedited images, videos, audio or 3D models, we will return the newly edited files to you. You can then use them for other projects as you wish.

Publishing & Distribution

Virtual galleries can be shared online, either as an interactive web app, or as a downloadable app. They can be shared in the form of videos and images, making them ideal for social media and passive viewers. Virtual galleries can also be adapted for live events, virtual reality headsets and immersive exhibitions.

Online streaming (for embedding online) = from £30 per month

  • This includes 1 month online and 1,000 minutes of user interaction
  • You will receive a monthly user report, showing daily audience engagement
  • Further minutes can be purchased at any time for £30 per 1,000 and we will notify you if streaming traffic is higher than your subscription allows

Downloadable apps for PC & Mac = £300 for PC, £400 for Mac

  • These are stand-alone application files that can be shared in multiple ways. You will be responsible for distribution of these apps via email, web download, shared storage or USB (or however you choose)
  • Contact us if you if you are interested in publishing your apps to the Windows or Apple store
