• Zero Software Friction: Students hold and manipulate digital 3D models in the palm of their hands without needing to download apps.
• Desk-Friendly AR: Brings hands-on learning into daily instruction using standard device cameras and the Merge Cube (or the Merge Paper Cube)
• Embodied Learning Interactions: Switch smoothly between standard 3D viewing, head tracking, hand tracking, and tactile Cube mode depending on your lesson format.
