Art Gate VR

Art Gate connects virtual exhibitions, artwork, and live visitors across VR headsets, desktop browsers, and mobile devices. Galleries manage exhibitions through a connected CMS while visitors explore shared spaces and communicate in real time. My work combined engineering across Unity and the web platform with project planning, team coordination, performance investigations, QA, and release support.

Art Gate VR

The Challenge

Delivering a high-fidelity virtual museum experience on web browsers presented significant technical hurdles due to browser resource limitations. The platform needed to handle massive 3D environments with thousands of high-resolution artworks while maintaining smooth performance across VR headsets, desktops, and mobile devices - all while enabling real-time cross-platform multiplayer interaction with voice chat.

My Contribution

I worked across the WebGL, mobile WebGL, VR, and CMS platform, combining implementation with QA, release automation, and production troubleshooting. My work included optimized Unity pipelines, asset streaming through Asset Bundles, and mobile memory and performance investigations. I integrated real-time multiplayer and Agora voice communication, contributed fixes and improvements to the VR application, and worked on AWS infrastructure and CloudFront delivery across the platform.

Project Management

  • Translated exhibition and platform requirements into scoped tasks, priorities, and acceptance criteria.
  • Coordinated developers, artists, and stakeholder feedback through ClickUp, tracking dependencies and delivery blockers.
  • Planned cross-platform QA and releases, balancing visual requirements with browser and mobile performance limits.

Work Highlights

  • Shared exhibitions across desktop WebGL, mobile browsers, and VR, with multiplayer visits and voice communication.
  • Asset streaming, mobile memory improvements, and content delivery through Unity pipelines and AWS infrastructure.
  • Gallery content management, QA, release automation, and production troubleshooting.
