The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City invites students to explore the color of ancient art in augmented reality. The Chroma ART experience allows smartphone users to virtually recreate an ancient Greek sculpture of a sphinx in full color, in their own space, comparing the vivid reconstruction and the sphinx as it looks today. The project features both interpretive and playful components that reflect collaborative work among scientists, imaging specialists, conservators, technologists, art historians, and others. No download is required.
