Activate the magic carpet shrink transformation to see the characters life size and even more detail. See what you can discover about Bosch and his masterpiece.
Review: ‘Eye of the Owl – Bosch VR’ is an interactive experience in which you get to look at some paintings by Dutch painter, Hieronymus Bosch. Anyone who has seen any of this world-famous painter’s works will know just how detailed it really is and this app capitalises on that and allows you to see them in amazing detail, up close and with some 360 sounds thrown int to immerse you a little more. If you are an art fan like myself you will really appreciate this app, but I get that it is not for everyone. If you like art, give this a go, it is free anyway, so it doesn’t cost you anything to try.
