Gallery-quality 360-Images Beyond Your Expectations

 

 

Now more than ever, it’s the right time to bring your gallery to people. At KiSP, we know your business thrives on customers being able to engage with images, textures, and emotions. Our Gallery VR projects are as close as it gets to being there.

 

 

Gallery VR from KiSP

While your physical gallery space remains closed, Gallery VR from KiSP can allow you to stay open and engaged with your clients at this critical time. When you can’t draw an audience to a physical exhibition we can keep your gallery open with a stunning virtual gallery, which can be viewed on any computer, or in a VR headset.

Drive collector desire and maintain your gallery’s reputation for innovation with a virtual re-opening.

 

The KiSP Gallery VR Difference

If you’ve reviewed online galleries before, you know that they are often a mashup of photography of different styles, subject to the photography lighting of a physical gallery space. They are usually an after-thought, created after an install, and not their own curated experience. That’s why we’ve created Gallery VR.

Gallery VR is an entirely virtual experience, not a re-creation of a ‘real’ gallery. By creating your space entirely virtually, we can optimize the space for viewing - just as a gallery should be.

We can provide different lighting levels, “install” artwork at any time, with no physical and logistical challenges, and no need to match digital images with photos of a gallery that may not suit them. 

KiSP has curated several gallery environments that can result in significant savings.
Customizable spaces are also available.

Key Benefits of Gallery VR

KiSP_LogisticsEasy Logistics 

No shipping, insurance, crating and couriers means you can create exhibitions that would be impossible in a physical gallery.

KiSP_icon_CostBenefitCost Effective

KiSP has a selection of competitively priced ‘off the shelf’ gallery spaces, which are fully customizable and competitively priced. Annual maintenance and installation fees are reasonably priced too.

KiSP_icon_EnhanceConstantly Evolving

We have recently added the ability to add ambient sound to a gallery space, to make the experience even more immersive. We’re adding video, and enhanced walk-through technology this quarter. And we’ll make new features available to our subscribers, constantly.

KiSP_icon_FutureFuture Proof

Our VR solution works on any device - phones, tablets, and computers as well as on a VR headset for the most discerning collectors. And, we commit to ensuring it works in all headsets as the market evolves.

 

KiSP_icon_teamExpert Teams

Our design team at KiSP has over 20 years of experience creating immersive and beautiful spaces. We embrace and lead the charge to integrate new technologies that tell visual stories better. And we’re always here for what’s next.

Far More than Just Pictures

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then Gallery VR is worth a million. Anyone can take photos of a gallery space. But what breathes life into a gallery is the storytelling - creating narratives and juxtaposing artworks from different moments, places, and cultures to expand the canon and enrich the experience of art. 

At KiSP, our designs live up to your standards. We have always known that VR isn’t about technology - it’s about the next evolution of storytelling. Gallerists and art curators know better than anyone that humans have always striven to communicate visually. And VR is the next step.

Over the past month, shortly after the closure of our physical spaces, we successfully launched an ‘entirely virtual’ gallery that has proved invaluable in our marketing and sales efforts. I was duly underwhelmed by my initial encounter with ‘cloned galleries’ or ‘hybrid virtual’ gallery spaces and found that they universally fell short of the standards that we establish for our exhibitions, artist books, and films. 

My views on this matter thankfully changed when I encountered the design firm KiSP and their sister VR company, Yulio, who introduced us to the concept of an ‘entirely virtual’ gallery, and quickly we began co-developing FM Virtual. The "ah-ha" moment for me was the discovery that an ‘entirely virtual’ gallery is fundamentally different from predecessor digital spaces.  Unlike ‘cloned galleries’ or ‘hybrid galleries’, an ‘entirely virtual’ gallery does not exist as a tangible real world gallery; it does not treat virtual viewing as an afterthought rather, ‘entirely virtual’ galleries function as native environments truly optimized for the virtual viewing user experience.  

With FM Virtual we can install art with a simple cut and paste on a computer, rather than struggling with the physical and logistical challenges presented by these activities at this time. In our strive to develop the most tangible, real-word gallery setting online, we’re able to further enhance the viewing experience by adding sound such as music or voiceover to accompany virtual exhibitions, walk-throughs, or tours. 

I firmly believe that entirely virtual gallery spaces are a significant part of sustaining and transforming ourselves in order to cope with the challenges posed by COVID-19. My hope and belief is that art galleries, like most businesses, will emerge from the pandemic with new business models and new tools of the trade.

If you’d like to speak with me or my virtual team before taking the ‘Virtual Leap’, don’t be shy! Let’s find a way to navigate these treacherous waters together.
