How it works
- Point your phone at the painting so the whole canvas fills most of the screen.
- Stand square to it, not off to one side.
- Move so the glare off the varnish isn't in your shot.
- More light helps. So does holding still for a second.
- When the painting is alive, tap anywhere to step inside — and tap again to come back.
