5 Tips for Stunning Gallery Virtual Tours

Art galleries and exhibitions are among the most popular use cases for virtual tours. Here are five tips to make yours stand out. ## 1. Lighting Matters Capture your panoramas with gallery lighting turned on and at consistent levels. Avoid mixed lighting temperatures — stick to the gallery's own lighting for the most authentic look. ## 2. Position Cameras Strategically Place cameras where a natural visitor would stand. In front of key artworks, at room entrances, and at corridor intersections. Aim for smooth navigation flow. ## 3. Use Image Planes for Artwork VAG's image plane system lets you overlay high-resolution artwork images directly onto gallery walls. This ensures art is displayed at maximum quality regardless of panorama resolution. ## 4. Add Context with Hotspots Attach hotspots near each artwork with artist name, medium, dimensions, and a description. Link to the artist's portfolio or sales page for galleries. ## 5. Enable VR Mode Gallery tours are stunning in VR. Make sure WebXR is enabled so visitors with headsets get the full immersive experience — walking through rooms and examining art up close.
