On the product page, a commonly observed UI pattern to display detailed product images is though an ‘Image Gallery Overlay’ — an overlay/modal window that often contains a complete and more detailed view of all the product images and videos.
However, during Baymard’s large-scale usability testing, time and again the UI and design of the image gallery User Interface caused users to overlook the very images they were trying to seek out, as well as causing users to not be able to properly enlarge the images (to perform a detailed visual inspection).
