What is ��Vlog AR

��Vlog AR provides a great supplement to any core curriculum by helping students learn challenging or abstract concepts through playful, bite-sized experiences.

Whether using our augmented reality app experience or our 3-D web-based experience, students are engaged through interaction, exploration, and multi-sensory experiences.

These activities open new opportunities for learning, especially for students who don’t learn well through more traditional methods. Subjects covered include math, science, and social studies—with ELA coming in 2025!��

Augmented Reality App Experience

Using the power of augmented reality, students use their tablets or smartphones to layer 3D objects onto their real world—their desks, tables, floor, anywhere!

They can walk around the objects, interact with them, and see them from different angles for a more immersive, kinesthetic approach to learning.

Download the app for free from the App Store or Google Play. You can also scan the QR code to download ��Vlog AR.

3D Web-Based Experience

No mobile devices in the classroom? No problem. Students can access web versions for use on Chromebooks, laptops, and desktops.

The web experience presents the 3D objects against a static classroom backdrop. Students get to engage with the objects and manipulate them using their trackpad, mouse, and/or keyboard controls.

Go to to access these free web experiences now!

NOTE: Web versions will not run on the internet browsers of smartphones or tablets. Use the app for those devices.

A 3-Part Pedagogical Approach

Each activity offers a familiar, three-step approach.

Observe: Students watch a narrated animation within the app.
Explore: Students interact with 3D objects and experiment at their own pace.
Evaluate: Students apply knowledge by answering interactive questions.

Watch the video for a demo of the augmented reality app experience. Stay tuned for a demo of our web-based experience.��

Spanish Versions of ��Vlog AR

Reach more students with Spanish versions of select AR experiences. If downloading the app for the first time, select the language preferred when prompted. If the app is already downloaded, go to Settings to change languages. The app currently has Spanish versions of the following 10 math activities: Cross Sections, Rotations, Nets, Slope, Solve Equations, Parallel & Skew Lines, Growth Functions, Reflections, Pythagorean Theorem in 3D, and Graph Theory.��

Spanish versions of all activities in the app and web experiences will be live by September 2024.

Setup & Anchoring in App Experience

If you're using the app experience, this video gives tips on how to�� project the 3D images on to a surface during the "Setup" portion. Anchoring is not a part of the web-based experience as that uses a built-in static backdrop for the 3D images.

What Educators Say About Our Augmented Reality Experiences

The students found the app extremely��easy to use. They were appropriately��challenged by some of the exercises, but��they weren’t discouraged at all. In fact, it��was the opposite. They were so engaged��that even when the bell rang, they didn’t��want to leave the classroom and just��wanted to figure out the current��challenge.

I love how this is designed for the��students to work collaboratively or��independently. It allows for students to��foster that sense of independence with a��rich learning experience.

This app helps with the challenges that��we experienced by giving the students a��3D representation of the concepts that��we're learning. It's also super engaging so��they're more interested in playing around��with the concept.
