This app was made as part of a assignment for my study Digital Design & Development.
The museum "Boijmans van Beuningen" in Rotterdam has to close several years for renovation works. In team, we had to find a solution so that people would still be able to expercience the museum in a digital way.
We came up with the idea to spread the art over the streets of Rotterdam in the form of empty frames. If you scan a frame, a living art work shows up in AR. You would also be able to then ask your assistant questions about the art work.

Jens Van Steen: Concept, UX, iOS Development
My main contribution was to develop the iOS application, I also helped with the UX of the app.
The making of the app was a real joy for me because I was able to deepen myself in something I real enjoy: making iOS Apps. I used several technologies I haven't used before or had seen in the lectures.
Used technologies
- ARKit
- Core Data
Once you are in scan mode you can try out a frame to scan like the one below.
