- Gallery360 is Hong Kong’s City U School of Creative Media’s immersive 360-degree stereoscopic visualization environment. School of Creative Media, the region’s first such institution, located in the stunning, one-of-a-kind, building designed by the world-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind (Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre), was founded to nurture a new generation of entrepreneurial interdisciplinary artists and creative media professionals, and to be a hub of innovation for the creative industries in Hong Kong, Mainland China, and abroad. The Creative Media Centre is named after Sir Run Run Shaw (1907 – 2014), who was a Hong Kong entertainment mogul and philanthropist. It was funded with a donation of HK$100 million from the Shaw Foundation. [sources scm.cityu.edu.hk and Wikipedia].
