Fancy meeting Rembrandt van Rijn?
In collaboration with Oculus Studios, Force Field has released a new VR experience for the Samsung Gear VR in which you travel back in time to meet one of the world’s most iconic artists: Rembrandt van Rijn. When putting on the Gear VR headset the user finds themselves in 17th century Amsterdam, a stunning scenic environment and home of the Dutch master painter. The experience places you right in the middle of key events in the life of Rembrandt.
You can even see the creation of one of the most valuable paintings of all time: 'The Night Watch'.
“One of the cool things about VR is that we can bring history to life in a very immersive way,” said Arthur Houtman, CEO, Force Field. “It’s as if you are actually there, up-close with Rembrandt, in his atelier, in his house, as he interacts with you and lets you understand why his work was so controversial in that day and age.”
Oculus, the manufacturer of VR headsets ‘Rift’ for PC and ‘Gear VR’ for Samsung mobile phones, asked the Amsterdam based VR studio ‘Force Field’ to develop an experience which shows how incredible lifelike VR can look on a mobile device. By merging live actors with computer generated environments through state of the art VR technology, the studio created a spectacular historical journey.
The experience stars Dutch TV and theatre actor, Reinout Bussemaker as Rembrandt and Derek de Lint, (Poltergeist the Legacy) as Jakob, one of the militia men portrayed in Rembrandt’s famous ‘Night Watch’ painting.
'Meeting Rembrandt: Master of Reality' is completely free and can be downloaded from the Oculus Gear VR store.
