What do you get when you combine leading virtual reality technology with some of the world’s missing masterpieces of art? The Stolen Gallery of Art.by the Brazilian company Compass UOL, stolen works of art by painters such as Caravaggio, Manet, Cezanne, Van Gogh, and Rembrandt are being given a second life—virtually, that is.
The app, now available free of charge on iOS and Android smartphones, is best experienced via a Meta Quest VR headset, developers say. “Initially when we thought about the environment of the museum, we thought about building something similar to a typical museum: fancy building with a lot of content around the art pieces,” Compass CEO and cofounder Alexis Rockenbach,. “We ended up choosing a completely different approach, a minimalist approach, where you in this dark space where the only thing you really are paying attention to is the art piece.
The idea is that users can get up close and personal with the works, abetted by audio descriptions of each one, similar to having an audio guide in your pocket.
