How disruptED Is Different Than Other AR And VR Learning Apps

As we see Augmented reality (AR) and Virtual reality (VR) in our daily lives more and more, acquainting children with these tools early can prepare them for their future and give them a valuable head start.
AR and VR technologies are the pillars of immersive learning. We believe that learning with either method is both valuable and unique. You can learn more about each here. At disruptED, we bring together a team of educational and immersive development experts speaking the same language to build the most appropriate products for early learners.
This is why we created the disruptED app with both AR and VR capabilities. Our Starter Kit and the learning materials in our Teacher Pack offer fascinating AR features when combined with our app, while our cardboard headset facilitates a vivid VR experience when used with our app. The combination makes disruptED unique in the market among apps targeting the Pre-K to 3rd grade age demographic.
From the beginning, we wanted to make this new technology as affordable and accessible as possible by creating our disruptED experience to work on many mobile devices and offering VR cardboard headsets that are the most affordable option for experiencing VR.
In addition, we are aware of concerns around screen time, so we developed books and resources for parents and teachers to use with children outside of the disruptED digital experience. The innovative teaching program that we’ve created also helps to eliminate the guesswork and confusion around AR and VR, which often deters educators from adopting immersive learning in their classrooms.
Lastly, we partnered with renowned artist Ed Heck to bring his stories and characters to life in an inviting, engaging, and memorable way. Rather than use 3-D art found online, we aspire to create a “wow” factor to complement the technology and take the stories to a new level in a way that fosters inspiration and conversation.
Altogether, disruptED is the leader in immersive learning for children Pre-K to 3rd grade because our product includes both AR and VR technology, our activity materials can be utilized offline, and our blended learning program makes it easier for parents and educators to teach the content. We have best-in-class illustrations and activities that enhance student engagement, comprehension and retention.
