The project aims to create Virtual Galleries, three-dimensional computer-generated spaces that resemble real environments, allowing users to navigate virtually. This immersive experience is offered through 3D 360° videos accessible from any screen, and with a 3D headset, it provides access to a captivating virtual reality. Within this space, individual and collective exhibitions will be displayed, and virtual visitors will be able to approach individual creations and obtain information (video interviews with the artist, descriptions of the artwork with subtitles, making-of videos, and photos of the creation process). The works will be registered using an NFT (Non-Fungible Token) system to protect intellectual property and ensure the authenticity of the product.
