🖼️ VirtualArtGallery

A 3D virtual art gallery platform that lets artists showcase their work in an immersive, interactive exhibition space — and lets visitors walk through and explore the artwork as if in a real gallery.

---

✨ The Idea

The platform combines:

• Artist Dashboard — upload artwork, generate AI-assisted descriptions, and arrange pieces inside the gallery with a 3D layout editor.
• 3D Gallery Experience — visitors move through the space with WASD keys and look around with the mouse, first-person style, just like a game.
• AI-Powered Suggestions — helps artists write artwork descriptions or get creative inspiration.
