AR Showcase: Vincent Höfte

Vincent Hofte is a jazz pianist who regularly plays on public pianos at train stations throughout The Netherlands. Together with Open Culture Tech, Vincent has created a short performance in which he plays his own piano pieces while a mobile Augmented Reality filter adds a visual layer to reality. By scanning a QR code with your smartphone, you see colored shapes floating through the train station. These shapes are remixed photos of the station hall itself, creating a mix between the architecture of the station and the repeating shapes in the photos.

 

This show used the first version of our own Augmented Reality app, which we will publish for free and publicly in a few months. If you are also curious about the process of creating this application and want to know more about how this application was created, read the extensive article here.
