Samsung Gear VR takes you back in history and into the workshop of the famous painter Rembrandt, for an unforgettable experience and knowledge of 17th-century Holland.
The best thing about virtual reality projections is that they can transport you to imaginary places, or meet people you would never meet in real life, like the famous Dutch painter Rembrandt, for example.
Oculus has partnered with virtual reality studio Force Field for a Samsung Gear VR experience that will transport you back to 17th century Amsterdam. The program, Meeting Rembrandt, recreates the artist's home and surroundings, using an actor to play the role of the artist.
Meeting Rembrandt puts you in the middle of the most notable events in the artist’s life. You can even interact with him in his studio and see the creative process behind his most famous painting, “The Night Watch.”
“It’s like you’re actually there, with Rembrandt, in his studio, in his home, and he interacts with you and allows you to understand why his work was so controversial at the time,” says Force Field’s head, Mr. Arthur Houtman.
The show is now available on the Oculus Gear VR store for free. Since it was built for Samsung, you'll need to have the Titan headset and a compatible phone, like the Galaxy S8 or Note 8, to run it.
