Phenomenal - Experience

I have pleasure to see David Bowie Is in Chicago at the MCA. The AR David Bowie Is app is very close to seeing again! I was searching to see if David Bowie Is happened to have new dates or was still touring, when I found a reference to the AR app. Wow! What a joy to find. Hoping still to have the exhibit go on tour again. I recommend to anyone that saw the original exhibit and wants a similar but different experience and to those hat did not have an opportunity to see the first tour.

Amazing

David Bowie museum in my pocket. Enough said.

Amazing Experience

Jolly great stuff folks. If you want to delve into this marvelous app depicting with sights and sounds, imagery and facts, all regarding Bowie, you won’t be disappointed. It’s like being immersed into Bowie space, floating around from flower to flower, taking a sip here, a bite there, nuggets of facts, all the while surrounded by his equally fantastical music and sometimes audio excerpts from interviews etc. Tapping on most things and then using a pinching gesture outwards on a photo or item enlarges things so you can read or view them in detail. There’s so much to explore, it’s well worth the quids!
