Level 6
VR Exhibition
Designing and publishing an interactive Virtual Museum or Exhibition.
Learning objective
Learning About: VR Showcase. Learning To: Build a 3D exhibition. Learning To Be: Reflective.
Let's Go!
Routine: Step Inside
Imagine being a visitor wearing a VR headset entering your 3D Virtual Museum. What story does your space tell?
Teacher note: Facilitate the Step Inside routine for 2–3 minutes. Encourage students to connect the prompt to Reflection (Shared virtual spaces allow global audiences to explore culture and ideas.).
Learn
A Virtual Exhibition combines everything you have learned: 3D architectural design, coded interactive triggers, spatial audio, and information plaques. Users anywhere in the world can explore your project using a browser, tablet, or VR headset! In computing, shared virtual spaces allow global audiences to explore culture and ideas. As you explore the interactive Three DViewer Simulator below, focus on how to publish a complete VR Museum featuring interactive audio guides, 3D artifacts, and quizzes.
