The AR app brings a stolen collection back to the museum!
The scope of the augmented reality tech application continues to be expanded as well as the number of apps and its users. There are training, teaching, presenting apps and even the apps returning stolen paintings to their frames.
A company, called Cuseum has presented the app visualizing artworks stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum on March 18, 1990 when two men, disguised as police officers, got the access to the exposition claiming to have received “a report of a disturbance”. That’s how 13 paintings, estimated to be worth around $500 million, were recklessly cut out from their frames and vanished without a trace. Despite the many investigations conducted since then, the crime came to be known as one of the biggest heists in art history is yet to be solved.
