The setup misses everything that you could do to let me experience his work in a setting reflecting his time.
An Italian Renaissance palazzo, the house of a nobleman of that time, maybe Leonardo's re-imagined studio etc.
Instead I see a museum that one of my architect friends might get excited (or offended) about but which completely removes all context from the paintings that the format you choose would otherwise naturally enable.
On that note: getting the colors right is also tricky. When you source these paintings you need to feed their color to a linearization process before applying any scene lighting and then finally do the display transform.
Otherwise horrible things will happen (do happen in your current setup) to the colors and Leonardo will turn once in his grave every time someone opens the website. ;)
I went through the first few images. It is really good to see scale placed over the painting.
I don’t like that I cannot move around by myself. Move to another piece is too slow… also entering museum (at first it is nice gimmick, the second entry is annoying as museum doesn’t remember my position; or I haven’t figured it out :)
Thanks. Yes, it is not possible to move around freely, that was a compromise we made to keep it accessible for older devices and older people. If you click the arrow it moves faster by the way. In the settings there is also a speed setting. Actually the address keeps your stop and a reload should bring you back to where you were.
