Museums are interesting places, full of wonder and history. Most of us have been to a museum at least once in our lives, and we know, more or less, how it feels to tour a museum. Well there is another way to experience a museum – through an augmented iPad app.

A New Experience
The magic app works like a video that guides you through a museum, and the whole time fictional characters like Darth Vadar, Nosferatu, and the shining twins, guide you. The characters come and go, they speak to you, and they take you through an interactive and fun learning experience.
The Museum Of Ghosts
The EYE Film museum in Amsterdam, signed on Godmother Films to create this iPad app for them, using their museum as the precise for it. If you went to the EYE Film museum and turned on this app, the app will guide you through the physical museum. The characters on your iPad screen would make you feel like they are really there, but invisible and only can be seen and hear through your iPad.
Magical Perfection
At first glance, you would think that there is some kind of 3D monitoring technology that is being used by the app, but that kind of technology is still to be fully uncovered in the future. So how is it so perfect?
Magical illusion
There is no intense technology behind this app, it’s just a film, designed to navigate the museum according to how the viewer would. This illusion is pulled off with the help of an intense amount of testing and polishing, which went into developing this magical app.
