Looking Better than Ever 

        Exhibition courtesy of Elizabeth XI Bauer - London, UK

New Release

 

If you've visited an Exhibbit exhibition recently you may have noticed that all artworks now appear in high resolution, all of the time.

This is a major improvement which removes the need to click on an artwork to load the hi-resolution version, creating a smooth and uninterrupted experience.

UI Updates

 

At the end of the gallery introduction, OPEN has been replaced by ENTER which we feel is more fitting, as you are in fact, 'entering' a room, not 'opening' a page.

You're no longer limited to 'BUY' as a button  label for linking e-commerce pages, now you can compose your own label with up to 27 characters. The new label is added to the dropdown list along with BUY, so you can assign it to other works in the exhibition.


 
EXPERIENCE THE NEW VERSION


Mobile Updates

 

Our iOS and Android apps have had updates to the navigation, UI and the Firebase back-linking system.
We are also pleased to let you know that the loading time for a gallery is now 20% faster.

The navigation has been improved with better handling around small artworks.
We have resolved the tendency when close to an artwork, for your position to drift. Now you can quickly set up a stable view for using with INVITE, or the opening shot for recording a marketing video of your virtual gallery.
 

Install our new Exhibbit mobile App

Experience the immmersive 3D Gallery on your phone or tablet.

 

Firebase back-linking is the system that remembers the exhibition you selected and opens it after installing the Exhibbit app. We have updated this system and fixed the issue that randomly opened the wrong gallery.

If you have had this problem, clear your mobile browser's cache before installing the updated Exhibbit app.



Fixes to Desktop Issues

 

A few people using the Chrome Browser have experienced a black screen when they pressed OPEN/ENTER.
This can be solved by opening:
Chrome/Preferences/Advanced /System and switching on 'Use hardware acceleration'.
You will need to restart the browser for this to take effect.

Next month we'll be back with some new ways to customise your virtual spaces.

Until then,

happy curating,
