The theme of our app is Tropical Island, and it features a “building menu” with digital objects typically found in a tropical environment. Kids combine these objects with five DIY craft projects to make their own augmented tropical island.
Adding digital elements creates a magical environment for the kids- the tide pool glistens, palm trees drop coconuts, clouds make rain (and even cause rainbows under the right conditions). Kids may notice some true-to-nature relationships such as water causing seeds grow and flowers attracting butterflies.
Additional features such as taking pictures, recording notes in a field journal & shooting videos with their own narration help kids express their individuality in a unique augmented reality diorama. We believe that this kind of open-ended play will intrinsically motivate kids to explore, learn and spark their imagination about topics that could in the future become their passion.
Kids are encouraged to use their imagination to craft a world that’s part digital 3D and part DIY craft projects. (And 100% creative.)
As part of the play, kids are motivated to physically get up and move around the world they have created, so they can explore hidden details above, below, around and even inside the objects.
