Artabia

Artabia helps artists create and showcase their art with AR and VR: virtual galleries, 3D/AR experiences and digital asset management in the browser.

Put an artist’s work into spaces people can walk through — a themed 3D gallery, or their own room in AR — directly from a web page.

• —Full-stack development across the React frontend, the Node.js backend, the 3D/AR gallery experiences and AI-powered features.
• —Diagnosed and fixed a WebXR boot-order race across the Unity WebGL gallery builds.
• —Audited the marketing site’s SEO and rendering, and wrote the prioritised remediation plan.
• —Built a Python (Flask + OpenCV) artwork-detection service: orientation correction, text-region masking and contour-based artwork detection.VERIFY — Unverified — only in: Artwork detection service (Python)

• —Each gallery is its own Unity WebGL build with a WebXR bridge exposing AR, VR, hit-testing and haptics to the page.

• —Some devices stalled before a gallery finished loading. Browsers without native WebXR load a webxr-polyfill; if Unity finished booting first, its _InitXRSharedArray hook called Module.WebXR.onUnityLoaded before the WebXR manager had attached — there was nothing to call.
• —Separately, the marketing site’s content pages were invisible to search. Crawlers received a “enable JavaScript” fallback page, and every content page declared the homepage as its canonical URL — explicitly asking Google to treat the blog as duplicates.

• —Made the order of events stop mattering. If the manager isn’t there yet, Unity now parks the Ready event, reports no AR/VR capability and keeps booting. When the manager attaches, it replays the parked event, so capability detection still reaches the page.
• —Shipped it as a guarded Node.js script, not hand edits: decompress each brotli build, require exactly one match per patch site, syntax-check the result with new Function before writing, back up the original, recompress at quality 11 — then read the file back and compare it to prove the round trip.
• —For search, traced six findings to one root cause — no per-route server rendering — and recommended prerendering or SSR for every public route with self-referencing canonicals, resolving four findings with one change.

• —One idempotent script patches all seven gallery builds; re-running it reports “already patched” instead of applying twice.
• —A prioritised SEO remediation plan that also states what the audit could not check.

Engine–browser boundaries fail silently. The fix wasn’t clever code; it was making the sequence of events irrelevant — and proving the patch before trusting it.VERIFY — Unverified — only in: Drafted copy — confirm voice
