Design process involved generating Big picture and Close up storyboard to support the design concept. Based on research personas were developed to highlight user experience through out the design process. An affinity chart was also generated to culminate the design process to a single feasible user friendly product.

My research included valuable feedback from artists and art lovers who have had experience using other apps that enable users to experience art galleries virtually. From the research I was able to conclude that most apps enable users to virtually browse through art galleries but not personalize it or make it more sociable.

DESIGN APPROACH
​
The app was designed to enable users browse through a series of exhibits and view each exhibit in an individual gallery space. Virtual walk through using the 360 feature enabled users to view art exhibits in a more realistic setting than as 2D images on the screen. Scroll icon feature at the base of the app enabled users to access different features within a small space on the screen giving visual images more importance. This feature also gave accessibility to action items without increasing navigation steps.
KEY FEATURE
During research art lovers mentioned they were more comfortable vising galleries in person because they missed the social interaction and conversations. Most apps they had tried only gave them visual experience of galleries and not the holistic experience of experiencing an art gallery. The app is designed to include a feature that allows users to socialize and form art clubs. This enables users to have discussions and also schedule group virtual tours to enhance their tour experience.
