<p>To install the plugin, search for “Croquet Web Showcase” from your WordPress plugin installation page.</p>
<p>You will need a Multisynq API Key to use the plugin. You can create a key for free at <a href="https://multisynq.io/coder" rel="nofollow ugc">multisynq.io/coder</a>.<br />
Your API key will look something like this: <code>25kkttz5HqJ4mDycjupJA5eiF2CMhdvIgexample</code> If you already have an installation with an earlier version, you have to update the API Key.</p>
<p>While writing a new Post or Page, you can add a Croquet Metaverse Web Showcase block in the block editor, as shown in the first screenshot.</p>
<p>Open the sidebar settings for the Web Showcase block by clicking on the the gear icon at the top right corner of your editing page and clicking on the block. In the sidebar settings, you can paste your Multisynq API Key into the API Key text field.</p>
<p>By default, a new Web Showcase block contains two default assets. If you preview your Post or Page, you can see a 3D art gallery space with those two images.</p>
<p>Once you have verified that this works, you can remove the default contents within the Web Showcase block by pressing the “X” button on each row. You can drag your own image, video, and PDF assets into the block to add them. You can rearrange them in the block editor, and they will change positions in the 3D gallery.</p>

<h4>⏩ Use of a 3rd Party Services or External Services</h4>
<p>To fulfill the core functionality of the plugin, plato.gallery is using following 3rd party/external services.</p>
<ul>
<li>API URLs – All the api are calling from <a href="https://plato.gallery/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">plato.gallery</a></li>
<li>Iframe – We display the 3D virtual reality gallery through an iframe, and users can embed this <a href="https://plato.gallery/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">iframe</a> using a shortcode</li>
<li>Images – We provide a service that allows users to display their images in 3D virtual reality, as a slider, or in a multi-column layout. All images are collected on <a href="https://plato.gallery/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">plato.gallery</a>, and users can choose how to display them based on their selected view. The images can then be showcased by placing a shortcode on the desired page or post.</li>
<li>GLTF – Both of these file types are handled securely using WordPress’s built-in file handling methods. No user-uploaded content is directly managed by the plugin, minimizing potential security risks. By storing these files in a dedicated folder (<code>uploads/plato-gallery</code>), the plugin keeps your WordPress installation organized and ensures efficient file management.</li>
<li>model.bin – This plugin supports 3D models in the GLTF format, which includes both <code>.gltf</code> and <code>.bin</code> files. The <code>.gltf</code> file is a JSON-based file that describes the 3D model’s structure, materials, and animations, while the <code>.bin</code> file contains the binary data required for the complete rendering of the 3D model in the Model Viewer. During plugin activation, the plugin automatically downloads and stores the necessary <code>.bin</code> files into the <code>uploads</code> folder from <a href="https://plato.gallery/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">plato.gallery</a>. This ensures that the 3D models have all the required components to function correctly without requiring manual intervention from the user.</li>
<li>model.gltf – The <code>.gltf</code> file, being lightweight and structured like JSON, serves as a descriptor for the model.</li>
<li>Videos – For each image, we display additional data, which can include other images, text, YouTube, and Vimeo links. When users add <a href="https://www.youtube.com/static?gl=US&template=terms/" rel="nofollow ugc">YouTube oEmbed API</a> or <a href="https://vimeo.com/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Vimeo oEmbed API</a> links, our code automatically detects these links and converts them into embedded media.</li>
</ul>
<h4>JavaScript Libraries</h4>
<ul>
<li>Vanilla-tilt – A smooth 3D tilt JavaScript library forked from <a href="http://gijsroge.github.io/tilt.js/" rel="nofollow ugc">Tilt.js (jQuery version)</a>.</li>
<li>Swiper – A <a href="https://swiperjs.com" rel="nofollow ugc">JavaScript library</a> for swapping items.</li>
