Drawn at Art Buddies in Albuquerque:

Augmented Reality for the Southwest Print Fiesta

Anticipating the Southwest Print Fiesta, we added 2 kinds of AUGMENTED REALITY to some ALBU-BRIJE PRINTS -- using free software"MINDAR" and "<model-viewer>":

 MINDAR -- ALEBRIJES

ALBU-BRIJES -- SUMMARY, JULY 2026

2 Types of AUGMENTED REALITIES --

MULTIPLE targets from one link, with "Fixed" 3D objects -- MINDAR;

INDIVIDUAL links for many "Free Range" 3D objects -- <model-viewer>

MULTIPLE 

"Fixed" AR Objects

 MINDAR

1) FIXED Placed Objects over print images in Augmented Reality -- for MULTIPLE TARGETS from ONE single QR CODE/Link:

After going to *THIS single LINK* with your smart phone, hover over ALL the 5 prints (or their photos down below) like scanning QR Codes -- and the 3D colorful Augmented Reality objects will hover in place over each of the prints:

 MINDAR -- ALEBRIJES

Scan THIS LINK and hover over the prints

to conjure a 3D colorful Augmented Reality object

in a "fixed" position over the prints

Scan one QR CODE

to activate many AR prints

INDIVIDUAL 

"FREE RANGE" AR OBJECTS

<model-viewer>

2) FREE RANGE Objects in Augmented Reality:

Tap the "NFC tags" at the corners of the ALBU-BRIJE prints with your NFC-enabled smart phone (Android or iPhone) -- or click on the   BLUE LINKS   below the images -- to bring up AUGMENTED REALITIES to place anywhere in your environment:

Augmented Reality Objects

anywhere in your environment 

Scan a QR CODE for each print

These "ALBU-BRIJE" Prints are inspired by the eight huge 20 foot ALEBRIJES & NAHUALES sculptures that came to Albuquerque in the summer of 2026:

We have been using AUGMENTED REALITY with prints for over ten years, since the Desert Triangle Print Carpeta:
