【明報專訊】To enhance public understanding and appreciation of local heritage, Hongkong Post (香港郵政) has issued a new set of six special stamps titled "Revitalisation of Historic Buildings in Hong Kong II" (top left). The set showcases six historic building revitalisation projects including those of Viva Blue House (We嘩藍屋), Mallory Street (茂蘿街) and PMQ (元創方).

This is the first time Hong Kong stamps have featured augmented reality (AR, 擴增實境) technology. If you scan the specially designed stamps with the "HKPostStamps" app on your mobile phone, 3-D models of the buildings on the stamps will appear (top right). Brief descriptions and 360-degree photos of the buildings are also available. In addition, those 3-D models will appear on a real-time background that changes from day to dusk to night, which gives stamp collectors a totally new and immersive experience.
