Overview

557 (오오칠) [o.o.tɕʰil] is a Korean creative collective in Toronto, rooted in the “Cafe Our Hours” community, bringing together artists through shared expression across physical and digital spaces.

As a web developer for the exhibition project, I built an interactive 3D virtual exhibition that extends a physical gallery experience into the web.

My Role & Scope

Worked as the sole web developer for the project.

Major works:

• Designed and developed a 3D web application using Three.js
• Participated in exhibition planning and on-site setup
• Translated physical space into a navigable digital environment
• Deployed the application using Vercel

Project Details

The project recreates a café-based exhibition space as a 3D web experience where users can freely explore and interact with artworks.

3D Environment Implementation

• Reconstructed the exhibition space using 3D scan data
• Rendered the environment in-browser using Three.js
• Maintained spatial consistency with the real-world layout

User Interaction

• Implemented character-based navigation for exploration
• Enabled artwork interaction to display descriptions
• Designed intuitive movement and interaction flow

Physical-to-Digital Translation

• Participated in exhibition planning and space setup
• Reflected real-world layout and user flow in the digital environment
• Considered how users experience space across offline and online contexts

Development & Deployment

• Built the entire application independently
• Deployed via Vercel (without custom domain)
