<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you were mesmerised by what Samskara had to offer, you\u2019d be blown away by the sheer brilliance of Starry Night. This exhibition was built around the significant works of a minor artist \u2013 at least, that was what Van Gogh was before his death. The 360-degree visual experience is such that guests are made to not only experience the paintings but live inside them. Even if you\u2019re not an art aficionado, this experience is sure to bring out your hidden love for this Dutch master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lot of thought went into the planning of the 2012 Architecture Biennale. You probably see QR codes as a way of getting onto websites and apps from your smartphone, so you might be surprised to hear that they can also be used as a way of finding out about architecture. The entire Russian Pavilion was covered with these codes, allowing guests to pull up any information they wanted about the high-tech city being built outside Moscow at the time (Skolkovo)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those who were lucky enough to be at this exhibition, it was not only immersive but interactive. The walls of the museum were covered with large screens that spiralled into one another almost seamlessly to the naked eye. As you walked through the forest, you could use the dedicated \u201cStory of the Forest\u201d app on your mobile phone to learn more about the various animals that live there. Did we mention just how immersive this experience was?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Gift for Athena | Location: The British Museum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This might not be available to the general public yet, but it\u2019s worth mentioning. \u201cA Gift for Athena\u201d combines AR with a dedicated tablet and smartphone app, meaning you can now walk through the British Museum and get the best experience even without a tour guide. All you have to do is point your device\u2019s camera at an artefact of your choice while running the dedicated app. The app recognises the object and provides you with instant facts and data about it. If this tech is developed to a bigger scale, there\u2019s no telling how well it can be adapted to other purposes.
