3D Virtual Gallery
A browser-based interactive 3D art gallery that recreates the feeling of walking through a physical exhibition space.
Overview
Visitors navigate freely using custom controls, exploring artwork in a spatial environment without apps, downloads, or VR equipment.
The project was built end-to-end — from concept and 3D environment design to development and optimization.

Challenge
To create an immersive spatial experience that runs smoothly in standard web browsers while remaining intuitive for first-time users across desktop and mobile.
Key Constraint
Zero-budget solo build requiring custom navigation systems, performance tuning, and extensive lighting iteration to present artwork without degrading frame rate.
Approach
- Custom camera system with collision detection
- Mobile joystick built from scratch
- Dual navigation (desktop + touch)
- Lighting designed for art visibility
- Minimal UI to preserve immersion
- Performance-first rendering
Outcome
Fully functional cross-device 3D gallery accessible from any browser with stable performance and optimized assets.
Proof-of-concept for immersive client applications such as virtual tours, real estate walkthroughs, and spatial showcases.
