Mobile Devices (iOS & Android)

Gallery6 allows you to easily navigate through immersive spaces directly on your Apple iOS or Google Android mobile device. Because WebVR is an emerging technology, device compatibility is not guaranteed. iOS 12 compatible Apple devices and Daydream-ready Android devices are required.

Mobile WebVR Instructions

Instructions:

  • Rotate your device 90 degrees to the landscape orientation for best viewing experience.
  • Move your device to look around the environments in 360 degrees.
  • You are free to move through the gallery space as you wish. Touch the screen to walk forward or drag your finger left or right to change the direction you are heading.
  • Aim the cursor at information icons to see more information. The cursor will "fuse", as indicated by the colored ring, when pointed at any item that has the ability to be interacted with.
  • Move to and from each space in the gallery by pointing the cursor at the portal windows located in each door. Once the cursor "fuses" to the window, you will be teleported to the next space.

Alternatively, you can get started with a basic headset such as the Google Cardboard or more advanced mobile headsets such as the Samsung Gear VR and Google Daydream.

Desktop Browser

Gallery6 can be viewed through a desktop web browser just like any website. To ensure compatibility and provide the best experience, it is recommended that you use the latest versions of Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.
