Capturing Physical Exhibitions to produce
Interactive 3D Virtual Exhibition Tours

V21 Artspace uses a mixture of innovative 3D laser scanning and multimedia technologies to capture real-time exhibitions to produce interactive 3D virtual tours for showcasing exhibitions online, providing a digital solution for accessibility, archiving, audience development and engagement.

When a live exhibition has closed, audiences can continue to engage with the work, enjoying the experience again at their leisure, and share with others that aren't able to visit. The intention is not to replace the physical experience or the many properties of the artworks but to provide a continuum through modern forms of documentation.

Accessibility and audience development have become key drivers for arts and cultural organisations, and online access to a virtual version of the exhibition supports this factor.

Extensive Benefits for Legacy & Archiving

In addition to providing a digital solution for facilitating accessibility and audience development, the benefits are extensive for legacy and archiving. The use of multimedia annotations such as video, photography, gallery guides, artists talks and audio provide an opportunity to include contextual narrative.

The 3D view of the space provides a whole new perspective for the viewer that couldn't ordinarily be seen in reality. From a planning perspective, the 3D dollhouse, accurate floor plans and measuring tool are vital for communicating the space to all collaborators.
