AR/VR Learning App for Kids

Another Reality Studio (ARS) teamed up with disruptED to craft an innovative Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) educational app tailored for children in Pre-K through 3rd grade. This app, available on both Android and iOS platforms, complements the disruptED children’s book series and offers a unique, immersive learning experience. For a visual introduction to the product, you can watch the product demo video featured on the right.

The app is designed to captivate young learners with a variety of engaging features. It introduces fun, animated characters and vibrant environments that encourage virtual interactions, making the educational process both enjoyable and effective. The app is accessible for download on iOS and Android devices, expanding its reach to a wide audience of young readers. A key component of the app is its gamified activities, which include singing, drawing, and counting, all woven into educational content that balances learning with play.

Additionally, the app incorporates Augmented Reality technology, allowing children to experience character animations directly on the physical pages of the disruptED books, bringing the stories to life in a new and exciting way. For an even deeper level of engagement, the app features a Virtual Reality experience that can be enjoyed through a cardboard VR headset. This VR component immerses children in the colorful, dynamic worlds of the books, providing a fully interactive learning experience.

The client’s primary challenge was to develop an application that would make three specific disruptED books—“ABCD Eat!”, “Shape Up Pup!”, and “Monster Opposites”—come alive through AR and VR technology, creating an engaging and educational experience for young readers. ARS rose to this challenge by creating a sophisticated app that blends AR and VR technologies to animate characters and design a range of educational activities and games. By working closely with the client to storyboard these elements, ARS was able to deliver an immersive learning environment that transforms tablets and mobile devices into powerful educational tools. This innovative app not only enhances engagement and collaboration among young learners but also provides a joyful and effective educational experience through its interactive and gamified approach.
