ARTAP
VIEW ART DIGITALLY ON YOUR OWN WALL
ARTAP by Helsinki Contemporary is an augmented reality based application which allows you to view realistic looking artworks on your wall in actual size as they would appear in real life. ARTAP is available for both iOS and Android devices.
GUIDE TO USING ARTAP
1. Download the ARTAP application on your mobile device.
A tablet device is recommended for the best viewing experience. Please note that your device needs to be online when you use the app. The app needs permission to use the camera and photos of your device to work correctly.
2. You can either scan a wall or an ARTAP wall spot marker.
Open the app, choose your preferred artwork and scan the wall where you wish to place the artwork, with visible features on it. ‘LIVE VIEW’ shows the artwork in a live camera mode and allows you to view the selected artwork on your device screen from multiple angles and distances.
3. When the scanning is complete, the artwork will appear on the scanned surface.
4. Take a picture and share it.
Usinig the ARTAP marker
1. Place the ‘wall spot marker’ (marker) on a well-lit area on the wall. You can download a printable marker as a .pdf. If you don't have access to a printer, send us a message including your postal address, and we will send you one. For bigger artworks and longer scanning distances, we recommend an A3 sized marker.
