Virtual Art Gallery

Description

This project simulates an art gallery in your browser using REGL. It aims at reproducing the experience of a real art gallery. The architecture is generated using a 10km long 6th order Hilbert Curve. The paintings are asynchronously loaded from the ARTIC and placed on the walls. You can use this project to display your own artworks.
