## Problem

A browser-based museum needs to preserve the atmosphere and scale of a physical exhibition while keeping navigation, artwork discovery, and close inspection comfortable across desktop and VR.

## Product signal

From free exploration to close artwork inspection in one spatial gallery

## Scope

- Three.js
- WebXR
- Spatial interaction
- Virtual exhibition design
