Merge Cube
(PF
MERGE Cubes are soft foam mixed reality holographic tools that that allow users to hold and interact with virtual objects using iOS and Android. There are many free or inexpensive experiences already available that work in mobile environments or by placing the phone in VR headsets/glasses Perhaps more powerfully, students can also code 3D objects and create their own experiences for the cube.
The MERGE Edu platform will also support Windows 10 and some Chromebook models with a back facing camera.
