Foursight

The augmented reality tour concept incorporates digital and analog means to create an augmented reality experience. At the beginning of the tour the user picks up a booklet at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. To keep one hand free, a design has been made that incorporates a smartphone. The phone shows a drawing map made by Jan Rothuizen and your current position on the map. The user can then walk through the map and give feedback to this text by writing and drawing on the pages of the book. The booklet will be returned to the museum so the comments are seen by further visitors.

Stedelijk Museum

The Stedelijk museum created a plan to provide the public with a knowledge platform for modern and contemporary art within Amsterdam, in which it can manage and present its collection in an innovative way. Eventually they want to implement an infrastructure where locative media, augmented reality and user generated content can be combined. It will be possible for every user to get an enriched experience viewing art. The Stedelijk can show exclusive art works or create art tours and virtual expositions in the city.
This MediaLAB Amsterdam project was a pioneer designing and creating an augmented reality exhibition of virtual sculptures.
