There was an overwhelming need for an alternative medium where people could explore art in their own environment and learn about artists' biographies and artistic techniques at their own pace. Immersive augmented reality layers serve to tell the stories behind artist's paintings. Place AR artwork on your wall and learn about historic events illustrated by Norman Rockwell.
