**Designing a Virtual Art Gallery with AI-powered Art Recommendation** In this example, we'll create a virtual art gallery that utilizes Qt and PyQt6 to display artwork and provide AI-powered recommendations to users based on their preferences. **Project Structure:** ```bash ArtGallery/ |---main.py |---gallery.py |---ai.py |---ui/ | |---main_window.ui | |---gallery_view.ui |---models/ | |---artwork.py |---data/ | |---artwork_data.json ``` **Main.py:** ```python import sys from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QVBoxLayout, QWidget from ui import main_window class ArtGallery(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() self.ui = main_window.Ui_MainWindow() self.ui.setupUi(self) self.gallery = Gallery() self.ui.gallery_view.addWidget(self.gallery.view) if __name__ == "__main__": app = QApplication(sys.argv) gallery = ArtGallery() gallery.show() sys.exit(app.exec()) ``` **Gallery.py:** ```python import json from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QListView, QListWidgetItem from PyQt6.QtCore import QAction, Qt from models import artwork class Gallery(QWidget): def __init__(self): super().__init__() self.view = QListView() self.model = artwork.ArtworkModel() self.view.setModel(self.model) self.select_action = QAction("Select artwork", self) self.select_action.triggered.connect(self.select_artwork) self.view.addAction(self.select_action) def select_artwork(self): index = self.view.selectedIndexes()[0].row() artwork_id = self.model.artwork(index).id print(f"Artwork selected: {artwork_id}") class ArtworkModel: def __init__(self): with open("data/artwork_data.json", 'r') as f: self.artworks = json.load(f) def artwork(self, row): return self.artworks[row] def rowCount(self): return len(self.artworks) ``` **Models/Artwork.py:** ```python class Artwork: def __init__(self, id, title, artist, style): self.id = id self.title = title self.artist = artist self.style = style ``` **Data/Artwork_data.json:** ```json [ {"id": 1, "title": "The Starry Night", "artist": "Vincent van Gogh", "style": "Impressionism"}, {"id": 2, "title": "The Mona Lisa", "artist": "Leonardo da Vinci", "style": "Renaissance"}, {"id": 3, "title": "The Scream", "artist": "Edvard Munch", "style": "Expressionism"} ] ``` **Installation and Compilation:** 1. Install Qt and PyQt6 using your package manager or by following the instructions on the official Qt website. 2. Create a new Python project using your IDE of choice. 3. Create the project structure as described above. 4. Import the necessary modules and create the UI using Qt Designer. 5. Write the code for the `Gallery` and `ArtworkModel` classes. 6. Compile the project using your IDE or by running the `main.py` file using Python. **Overview:** This example demonstrates how to create a virtual art gallery using Qt and PyQt6. The `Gallery` class displays a list of artworks and allows the user to select an artwork. The `ArtworkModel` class provides access to the artwork data and allows the user to select an artwork based on its ID. **Features:** * Displays a list of artworks * Allows user to select an artwork * Provides access to artwork data * AI-powered art recommendation (not implemented in this example) **Note:** This example uses a simplified database to store artwork data. In a real-world application, you would likely use a more robust database solution. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you would like to see any modifications to this example.
