Augmented Reality at the exhibition "von oben" at the National Library in Bern

From the 1880s, Eduard Spelterini took his balloon to Switzerland and was the first to photograph it from the air. He took technically innovative and aesthetically captivating aerial photographs from the balloon. Spelterini's trips were an adventure. His pictures opened up new perspectives.

The exhibition "von oben" at the National Library in Bern takes Spelterini's photographs as a starting point for telling a story about aerial photography in Switzerland. It leads to the drone via photography from the plane and the satellite.

This app uses augmented reality to display Spelterini's pictures and numerous other geodata. Visit the exhibition and point your mobile phone to the Swiss map.
