Heninn is an immersive virtual gallery app built with Unity, showcasing diverse digital art projects, including Weifangese Cadence. The app transcends physical boundaries, enabling users to explore Huiqun Xu’s work in a fully interactive 3D environment. Heninn emphasizes spatial engagement, allowing users to navigate and examine art as if in a physical gallery, aligning with modern exhibition trends that prioritize interactivity and user agency. This approach is consistent with the concept of “borderlessness” in interactive installation art, which aims to dissolve the physical boundaries between the viewer and the artwork, creating an immersive experience that extends beyond traditional visual engagement (Hua, 2021).

Leveraging Unity’s 3D rendering and cloud-based storage, Heninn provides a dynamic, updateable platform. Its architecture supports future VR integration, making it a valuable research tool for studying spatial interaction in digital art. This aligns with current research on the impact of extended reality technologies on exhibition spaces, which highlights how these technologies transform visitor experiences by merging real and virtual environments (Chen & Lai, 2022). Designed for students, researchers, and digital media practitioners, Heninn offers insights into the potential of virtual spaces to enhance art engagement. It serves as a model for interactive digital exhibitions that redefine aesthetic experiences in the virtual realm by integrating relational aesthetics with digital interactivity (Guo & Zhang, 2022).
