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
