EdAR

Augment the way you teach

The use of augmented reality in education is very effective and engaging, but building it into the curriculum effectively requires specialist knowledge and technical skills which can be daunting for educators.

EdAR is a team of experts with years of experience in content generation, pedagogy and AR technology.

We identify broadly applicable topics and generate content with academic experts. We develop that into a learning experience, which we then distribute worldwide to other educational customers.

Our goal is not replicating a textbook in a digital form but rather create engaging and immersive experiences with the use of spatial computing.
