About The Museum of ThroughView
The Museum of ThroughView is a VR museum unlike anything else. This is the first time a virtual reality app showcases 2d to 3d conversions of famous paintings and old photographs.
When looking at these paintings in VR, the paintings themselves can also be experienced in 3d.
For each painting or photograph, background information can be accessed. Spread out through the museum are miniature models from which the 3d images were generated.
There are a total of 54 paintings and photographs on display from artists such as Rembrandt, Bierstadt, Monet. Included is also a special exhibition of photographs taken in New York before 1900 by Jacob Riis.
I hope you will enjoy having a walk through the museum.

There isn't a lot to this experience but I think it would make a nice intro to what VR can do. The various displays are just scenes that have been given depth by separating the various parts kind of like a pop-up novelty greeting card, but the effect is good. The museum is very nicely done. It only took a few minutes to race around and have a quick look at most of the displays, and I don't know about replay value, but it does seem like a great way to introduce guests and friends to the ability of VR to take you to places and let you experience some cool stuff. I'll definitely go back in to see it in more detail.4 found this helpful
The Museum of ThroughView is an experimental virtual reality title developed by Erwin Wolf and published by MarWin Studios in collaboration with ThroughView that deliberately steps away from traditional game design in favor of immersive cultural exploration. Rather than offering objectives, puzzles, or progression systems, the experience positions itself as a virtual museum—one that invites players to engage with visual art and historical photography in a way that would be impossible in a physical gallery. It is best understood not as a game to be beaten, but as a space to be inhabited, explored, and reflected upon. The central concept of The Museum of ThroughView revolves around transforming classic two-dimensional artworks and photographs into three-dimensional forms that can be experienced spatially in VR. The museum houses dozens of curated pieces, including famous paintings and historic photographic works, each reconstructed to give a sense of depth and volume while preserving the original composition. Instead of standing at a distance and observing framed art on a wall, players can move around each piece, examine it from different angles, and gain a new appreciation for text…1 found this helpful
