'Gogh'-mented reality on your mobile

Vincent van Gogh’s life in Brabant is now available on your smartphone. Download the free Layar app (available for iPhone and Android), where you will find the Van Gogh layer.

Vincent’s life on your mobile
Various locations throughout Brabant are still witness to the life and work of Vincent van Gogh. Using 'Gogh'-mented reality you can discover what each location has in common with Vincent. How did he live there and what did he paint? The life that Vincent led in Brabant becomes virtually tangible!

How and what?
The layer gives extra information about (the vicinity of) the location in Brabant where you happen to be at that moment. The Augmented Reality (AR) gives you location-specific information within the ‘viewing field’ of your smartphone.
Whether sitting at a Brabant pavement cafe or wandering through the Brabant countryside you can read about Van Gogh’s biography or listen to fragments of his letters. You will of course see his paintings, valuable sketches or historic photos of his parents’ house and family members. And if you wish, you can navigate yourself to the location.

The app is available in English and in Dutch.
