Six AR experiences at Le Press, Lucknow

Explore these interpretive 3D scenes at home, or use the campus QR signs during a visit. Choose your printed guardian to reveal a letter and open the AR scene at that stop.

1. Canopy · A reading room beneath the leaves — Big barn entrance · Banyan tree
2. Bloom · Pages beneath the bougainvillea — Bougainvillea terraces
3. Aqua · A walk with Munshiji — Fountain courtyard
4. Ember · From metal to meaning — Chimney courtyard
5. Terra · The press, seen as a whole — Public-toilet approach · Banyan tree
6. Spark · A community of printed stories — Arched verandah

AR uses manual floor placement on supported phones. The map helps you find the area; it does not automatically lock an object to the building. The digital scenes are interpretations of the printing legacy.

Scan. Explore. Place.

Use the six printed guardian QR signs or choose an encounter above. On a supported Android phone, open in Chrome; on iPhone, use Safari. Open a scene, choose AR, allow camera access and follow the floor-placement instructions. Otherwise enjoy the interactive 3D view.

No paid visitor subscription or separate Le Press app is required. Android uses Chrome with Google Play Services for AR; iPhone and iPad use Safari’s built-in AR Quick Look (still view; animations play in the 3D view). VR headsets can stand among all six artefacts in the VR artefact gallery. Step-by-step help: How to view in AR & VR. On campus, see the whole Press life-size and geo-aligned.
