NomartVerse is an always open mixed reality art gallery that allows Curators, Artists and Critics manage, organize and attend virtual exhibitions conveniently without the need for a VR Headset.
Most art galleries have about an average of 40 paintings. They always switch, replace and remove artworks from time to time in order to create space for new artworks to be displayed and this was a major problem because artists would not be able to display their works as they wished. Curators had to quickly learn about the latest artworks on display just to avoid making mistakes when hosting critics and visitors around the gallery during exhibition and most importantly they sometimes removed the favorite paintings of critics and visitors.
