AN OPTIONAL EXTRA FOR YOUR ARTWORK

Augmented reality

A painting to keep. Another layer to discover. Augmented reality can add a digital experience to your artwork, viewed through your phone's camera.

THE ARTWORK COMES FIRST

Something extra.
Still your artwork.

Augmented reality, or AR, places digital imagery over the real world on your screen. Point your camera at a prepared artwork and extra visual layers appear in alignment with the painting.

Those layers can give the scene a sense of depth as you move your phone, offering another way to enjoy the details and story of the piece.

It is an optional addition, not a replacement for the painting. Without a phone, your artwork is complete in its own right. AR is prepared for individual pieces, so we can discuss whether it suits the artwork you have in mind.

FROM PAPER TO SCREEN

A different way to look closer.

  1. A piece with an AR experience

    The artwork needs its own prepared digital layers and tracking target. Not every piece in the collection has an AR version.

  2. Your phone becomes the window

    Open the piece's experience link on a compatible phone, allow camera access, and bring the full artwork into view in good light.

  3. The extra layers appear

    Once the camera recognises the artwork, the digital layers line up with it on screen. Move gently to explore their depth.

A camera-enabled phone, an internet connection and a compatible browser are needed. Recognition and performance depend on your device and lighting.
