Experience the past and present of Texel and Den Helder with augmented reality! With the smartphone app iTexel, you walk past special places enriched with augmented reality, photos, video and audio. Each route contains numbered locations where augmented reality is activated as soon as you get close. On Texel, for instance, you will be led past beautiful nature, with foresters and birdwatchers telling you all about the flora and fauna. You will learn about the island's VOC past and Napoleon's heritage in Den Helder, where he comes to life and tells about his grand plans. At the Texel Wezenputten, a lifelike orphan boy appears and then shows you around. Tips: Download the route in advance on wifi to navigate offline. It is important to have space free on your phone.
