Buyers like to know the dimensions of the artwork they’re viewing online. Is it small and jewel-like or will it dominate the living room wall?
A 3D virtual gallery creates a much more naturalistic viewing experience. It’s on a screen – but it feels like a room. There are intuitive, visual cues in the gallery’s dimensions, furniture and windows.
When you upload your artwork image, upload it at the correct physical dimensions. Artwork labels also provide precise information. The dimensions are easy to review, either on the wall next to artwork or in the dropdown panel. Buyers won’t have to do that difficult size translation, because it’s with them, on their phone, tablet, laptop or desktop.
Exhibbit’s 3D gallery software makes it easy for buyers to share the experience, and thus get input from others whose opinions they value. It could be a partner, or group who are involved in considering the purchase. With a few clicks, they can share a particular artwork, along with the entire exhibition, and add a personal message.
Experiencing art virtually on a laptop, phone or tablet, is very different to viewing 2D images on a webpage, where artworks, large and small, may all be presented at the same size.
This is one of the reasons we built Exhibbit. As artists and gallerists, we wanted to use 3D software technology to put online viewers inside the gallery, where they can experience exhibitions at real-world scale.
