ARART is an application that breathes life into objects. When overlaying ARART onto a well-known masterpiece, a new story will unfold, as if time trapped inside the painting had been stirred alive.
The system of ARART detects the picture which analyzed the image and was registered beforehand at the same time it displays the image of a back camera on a screen as it is.
And display it that a picture of the reality world transforms it by putting a different image on top of one another depending on the image which a system detected.
The pictures to detect are natural drawings, such as not a mark like QR Code but a photograph, and an illustration.
Enjoy a whole new experience by overlaying ARART onto various objects that make up this world.

I thought I encountered this piece independently, but no, Creative Applications found it first, because, well, they’re brilliant … and they have a few more details:

The app was created using Vuforia Augmented Reality SDK and is available from the AppStore for free.

In theory, then, you could try this app out on reproductions you may have.

You can check out the project’s site here (in both English and Japanese) - also, Kei has a Tumblr blog here

[Also, I know designboom created a gif to accompany their entry on this work, pretty much identical to the top one I have made here. No intention of ripping them off, but the guy who posted it {rodrigo db} imitated my post on the Hyper-Matrix post - we’re even]
