Augmented Reality in 'Escher in het Paleis’
The visitor, equipped with an augmented reality headset and armed with a wiimote, can throw a virtual object towards the wall. This makes a hole appear, through which one can look down into the staircase.
Effectively, the virtual hole in the wall becomes a wormhole or portal which shows an entry into another part of the museum, though with a rotated perspective. You're looking straight at the wall, but while looking through it, it seems if you could fall down through the staircase. To play with the perspective and to connect spaces which could not be connected in reality, is of course a theme that fits to the work of M.C. Escher. (2008)
