The app is available for iPhones and iPads with iOS 12 in order to make use of the latest multiplayer AR technology. In Dance With Us it is possible for multiple users to simultaneously have the same AR experience, all on their own device. The app is created in collaboration with &samhoud media, a creative agency specialized in AR and known for nationwide digital loyalty campaigns for Dutch leading retailer Albert Heijn. Jip Samhoud, founder of &samhoud media, is pleased with the result. “Together with the extremely talented Norah and Yarah we strive to get as many people as possible on their feet.”
According to Samhoud Dance With Us is a special app for numerous reasons. “It is a world’s first that we’ve combined a multiplayer AR experience with volumetric capturing.” Samhoud and his team flew to London to record the dancing twins in a special volumetric studio of which only four can be found worldwide. “We used 106 cameras that resulted in a file as big as 10 gigabytes per second to capture the girls and digitize them so we could transform them into an augmented reality experience.”
The music for the app was designed by Amp.Amsterdam and the app is suitable for iOS 12 and can be downloaded for free on Iphones and Ipads.
