The renewed ALMA leaflet has AR (augmented reality) markers on it. By reading the markers with your portable terminal (e.g. smartphone) with a built-in digital camera, you can get 3D models of ALMA-related items or moving images.

If you do not have a new ALMA leaflet at hand, click the URL below ( https://alma-telescope.jp/assets/uploads/sites/alma.mtk.nao.ac.jp/j/pr/pamphlet/images/alma-leaflet201210.pdf ) and print it out. The four AR markers provide different contents. Follow the instructions below and play with AR contents !

If you have no AR compatible phone, enjoy beautiful images recently captured by ALMA which are also contained in the leaflet (Japanese only).
