Abstract:
Imagine you’re looking at a beautiful painting, like Vincent van Gogh’s ‘The Bedroom’. What would it be like to step into the painting itself and walk around? “Virtual Bedroom” lets people experience just that! As a bonus, you can also visit of Edvard (‘The Scream’ ) Munch in his room next door. With our app, the Amsterdam Van Gogh Museum was the first in the world to feature paintings brought to life through Virtual Reality.
