Ready to explore the smelter?

This experience uses your camera. Your programme and quiz remain available without launching AR.

Best experienced on a modern phone with camera access.

Preparing the AR experience… On a weak connection this can take a little longer.

AR is loaded only after you choose to start it, reducing unnecessary data use.
