NOTE: The AUGMENTED REALITY packages can be hosted, and seen, on GITHUB -- I posted this Alien Javelina AR on GITHUB

first showed me Augmented Reality in 2011
with AndAR
Jacob Dorler made the 3D file in 2012

I ought to be able to place the same 3D sculptures in a VIRTUAL REALITY Gallery, like I've done before with Spatial.io back in 2022:
AR FANTASIES
"What if this whole AR Print fantasy could be streamlined in real time? One would hold their smart phone over the framed 8x8 inch print, and the phone would take a picture of it automatically, like it were reading a QR code. That image would then be sent to the cloud, where Shap-E would automatically generate a 3D image. Then that generated 3D AI image would then be projected over that same print in Augmented Reality, practically in real time, adding a 3D element to a 2D print."
IDEALLY I would like to place my AUGMENTED REALITY 3D sculptures throughout the Albuquerque Museum Sculpture Garden. I would want to use various architectural locations as "targets," which the smart phone could read and then place the 3D AR sculpture in that exact spot.
8th Wall was a software that would place AR objects over targets. They went out of business on February 28, 2026 -- however now they are OPEN SOURCE.
Moreover I do not want the viewer to have to download an app to do this. They could just scan a QR code (or swipe over an NFC tag) and link into an AUGMENTED REALITY space -- as one can do with
MINDAR (I could not get it to work) -- as we saw in the CURRENTS NEW MEDIA EXHIBITION in Santa Fe in 2025. That way a visitor can see many AR "sculpture" Easter Eggs while strolling through the Sculpture Garden at the museum.

Moreover can also make 3D GLB files from scanning real sculptures and objects from the real world -- like we did with the iPhone using Lidar:
- Magiscan
- Scaniverse free (with Lidar, Apple only)
- 3D Scanner App (with Lidar, Apple only)
AR at Quelab
on April 1, 2026
UPDATE (April 8, 2026): Adric made and printed a QR code to the above Augmented Reality that printed on his PhotoMemo label maker -- and the small QR code worked (unlike the previous Google QR code in this blog post, which had dots that were too small to print consistently)
This QR code worked
ODD THOUGHTS:
- Maybe we could get four "targets" from the four sides of a Sculpture, and place different AR objects around the sculpture on the north, east, south and west sides
- Maybe we can use the hologram screen slide show as a slide show of AR "targets"
- Maybe we can have a collaborative AR sculpture exhibition, with GLB sculptures from different artists, at the Albuquerque Art Museum
- Can we use AI vibe coding to make "target" AR experiences
