Interactive Museum Gallery

This second demo project for my new system for creating virtual
experiences, VXfab, is a sandbox of different interaction methods in a
museum gallery setting. A landscaped courtyard provides an introductory
space, and the inner gallery contains a variety of displays to navigate
around and interact with. 

Try streaming in your web browser, or download the Mac / Windows app.

This
virtual exhibit is modeled in 3ds Max and rendered in real-time using
Unreal Engine. Interactive elements and movement controls are programmed
and scripted with a combination of C++ code and UE's built-in
Blueprints scripting graph.

For
streaming in the browser, the app is uploaded and configured on a
remote server with virtualized GPUs, and streamed to client browsers as
1080p video. When downloaded and run locally, the app is packaged as a
Windows installer or notarized Mac DMG.
