Zoom Art Gallery
2022My Role
Developer in charge of designing and building the interactive zoom plugin.
Context
A client with a WordPress art showroom wanted a tool to zoom into specific areas of each artwork. The concept: define points of interest on a painting (e.g. on the Mona Lisa, "top left: the scenery", "center: the smile") and navigate smoothly between these zones across the entire gallery. Completed in 2 days in 2022.
