Gallery node

The Gallery node is a very versatile study element node that can take participants through a sequence of image or experience items, where each item can be rated. This sequence can be in a strict order or be shuffled. The participants can also be allowed to explore them all in any order by clicking on thumbnails.

Typical uses for the gallery node include (a) showing different designs for the same location (each item is a different variation) and (b) showing different views of the same location (each item is a rendered image from a different perspective).

Gallery items can be static images, videos or special panorama videos, including the ENVALYS VRTerrain panorama experiences.

To try the gallery node, you are going to let participants rate two different design variations.
