Interactive VR Art Gallery: On the Other Side of the Painting

Abstract

The thesis describes the innovative concept of an interactive VR art gallery application „On the Other Side of The Painting“ and the development of its prototype. The solution aims to enhance the painting allowing the spectator to enter and interactively explore the world of painting but still return to the classic gallery format of displaying the painting itself as well as other paintings. This thesis covers an overview of similar applications, a detailed prototype application design and an evaluation with target group feedback. The virtual gallery prototype was created according to the basic principles of virtual reality applications and game design.
