Technology Sharing/Academy of Fine Art Virtual Exhibition Hall

 

Due to the epidemic and other factors, the Academy was unable to hold offline graduation exhibitions, so we built an online virtual exhibition platform for it. Based on WebGL engine, configurable background and data analysis system, the platform realizes the complete digital exhibition capability of independent curation, real-time rendering and multi-scene expansion.

 

 

1. overall project architecture design

 

1. Technical Base Architecture

The system builds a real-time 3D rendering pipeline based on WebGL/WebGPU, and realizes efficient resource communication with CDN through RESTful API.
The architecture ensures that the exhibition hall still has stable rendering performance and fast resource distribution capability in high concurrent scenarios.

 

2. Multi-terminal adaptation technology

The performance recognition algorithm dynamically matches the rendering quality to realize the full terminal adaptive experience of PC, tablet and mobile terminal.
The system will automatically adjust the texture, model and lighting accuracy according to the device calculation force to ensure smooth browsing.

 

 

2. front-end 3D showroom experience layer

 

1. Scene rendering capability

The use of PBR materials, HDR ambient lighting and lightweight processing of resources ensures that the exhibition hall still maintains high-fidelity visual effects in the browser.
At the same time, the model compression and GPU acceleration strategies are integrated to improve rendering stability and reduce the loading pressure of the first screen.

 

2. Interactive Experience Design

Supports multi-mode roaming and multi-modal exhibit information display, and adapts to natural interaction methods such as touch control, mouse and spatial audio.
Rich interactive logic allows users to immerse and explore the exhibition area and get close to the offline exhibition viewing experience.

 

3. Zero threshold access experience

Users can enter the exhibition hall directly through the browser, taking advantage of the incremental loading and caching mechanism without installing additional software.
The mechanism significantly reduces access costs and improves the dissemination capacity and user reach of the exhibition.

 

 

3. Content Management Back Office (CMS DMS)

 

1. Back Office Infrastructure

A modular and hierarchical authority system is adopted to allow curators to flexibly manage exhibition content in a secure environment.
The architecture supports the on-demand expansion of functional modules to facilitate the addition of new exhibition halls or exhibition modes in the later period.

 

2. Exhibit management ability

The background supports the upload, classification, sorting and metadata editing of exhibits, so that the contents of the exhibition hall can be updated quickly and independently.
The system also provides the ability to automatically generate thumbnails and previews to improve curatorial management efficiency.

 

3. Version and release mechanism

Supports full version control for drafts, previews, and releases, and provides one-click rollback to ensure content security.
Curators can adjust and iterate content without affecting the online exhibition hall.

 

 

4. Data Acquisition and Visualization Analysis

 

1. Data collection content

The system automatically records the access path, click behavior and stay time, providing real user behavior data for the exhibition operation.
These underlying data help analyze the attractiveness of the work, the hot spots of the exhibition area and the user's interest points.

 

2. Data analysis background

Displays access trends, heat distribution, and source channels in a graphical manner, and supports multi-dimensional filtering analysis.
The analysis tool can directly export the report form, which is convenient for schools to use for teaching research or exhibition review.

 

3. Data Value Scenarios

The data can be used to optimize promotional content, adjust the layout of the exhibition area or increase the exposure of the exhibits.
It also provides quantitative support for digital teaching, academic research or media communication.

 

 

5. system deployment, security and performance optimization

 

1. Multi-environment deployment

The three-level deployment scheme of development, pre-release and formal environment is adopted to ensure the stable and reliable launch of functions.
Independent resource pools and databases are used between different environments to achieve security isolation and version control.

 

2. Performance optimization system

Through model compression, texture optimization and GPU acceleration strategy, to achieve a smooth rendering experience on all kinds of devices.
The system also uses strategies such as lazy loading of resources to reduce the pressure on the first screen, so that the access speed is significantly improved.

 

3. Safety system design

From access control to data isolation and anti-crawler strategies, a complete security system is built to ensure the security of exhibition digital assets.
Logs are logged throughout the background operation process to facilitate tracking, auditing, and risk control.
