The making of a Hero

Arriving in a virtual gallery can often be a lonely experience, leaving visitors to work out on their own what to do and where to go.

We give curators the tools to change that, offering their visitors a personalised introduction from the moment they arrive. Think about walking into any room for the first time. You look ahead, take in the space, and only then decide where to move. Exhibbit visitors arrive with a natural view across the gallery to get their bearings. From there, your curator takes the lead.

Curators are directors

By selecting a Hero, curators can direct how a visitor’s exhibition experience begins. The Hero can be an image, a block of text, a video, or a graphic, whatever the curator has chosen to greet visitors first. Clicking ENTER brings visitors smoothly to it, as if being personally walked to the first piece.
The Hero might be the exhibition’s abstract, presented as wall text. It could be a video that flickers to life as they draw near. Or it may be a painting the curator has chosen to open the show with.

Influence first impressions

It’s a powerful tool for curators, pulling visitors in before they start exploring on their own terms. Instead of leaving that first impression to chance, the Hero puts it firmly in your curator’s hands.
