Imagine this. You’re in Ziggo dome with 10.999 other lovers of film music. During the first notes of the Jurrasic Park soundtrack, the roof appears to open and life-size dinosaurs tower over you. A little later, when the Metropole Orchestra starts the Star Wars soundtrack by John Willams, suddenly spaceships fly overhead while all around you laser beams are flashing.

For both the audience at the Avond van de Filmmuziek (The Night of Film Music) and the viewers at home, film music had never felt so real. And all that thanks to Augmented Reality. It was the first time that this technology was used in The Netherlands at this scale for such a large audience.
