Cover Page:
Index Pillar
The well-known Narasimha pillar from Belur, has a miniature version of all the sculptures
in the temple and was originally mounted on ball bearings and could be rotated.
In a similar manner, the index pillar at Ignite enables our trainees to view the real world
as a browsable interface. With camera phones and a mobile app, trainees are able to
access content by browsing the real world.
