A newly released app called Rembrandt Reality allows the user to enter and wander through the Rembrandt painting The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp.
Lookalikes of the main figures in the painting dressed up in seventeenth-century outfits and were then scanned with a 3D scanner made up of 600 reflex cameras. The original theatre in the Waag where Dr. Tulp gave his anatomy lesson in 1632 was then captured with the 3D scanner. These scans were then combined, after which 3D modellers gave the figures and the space the correct colours, textures and light.
The app is available free of charge from the Apple App* and Google Play* stores.
