Merge Cube – Augmented Reality Hands-on Tool for Education – Science & STEM Toy – Digital Teaching Aids – Science Simulations – Home School & Classroom Learning – iOS & Chromebook Compatible

Best way to learn Science and STEM
This takes a modern teaching approach and allows students to have a hands on approach to learning.There are hundreds of way to learn across various topic areas and I find myself spending free time just exploring the different activities.

Very Nice for kids to present their assignment in school!
Parents need to assist! Great for school presentations or Teachers’ Online students. Cool For college presentation. Cool for educational presentations. Oh..it has three software programs you can download there is an additional charge to run this program. I believe it’s a free trial. Go to the website and see if your computer or phone will allow these programs to download to equipment before purchase!! Cool website by the way! Its pretty neat! You must be computer-savvy to work this and put in some time….for your presentation.

This is frustrating
I have a friend that had me come over to show me his new Merge Cube. I ordered one myself the next day. When I received the Merge cube I see a message get started mergecube.com/start with an activation code. I go to the site there is no place to input the activation code. There are no instructions on what apps to download to make this thing work. After playing around on the merge cube website I found some apps to download. The first app is explorer, but when I downloaded it it had a getting started video that would kill the app every time I tried to play it. Then I downloaded another app for the merge cube, but could not get this one to work as well. This second app was for uploading your own content. I gave up and wrote a review on this product, but I used profanity and amazon would not let me post the review.The next day I found a little time to play with the cube. I found another explorer app that I downloaded and this app allowed me to use my iphone to view the content.I do not recommend this product. The instructions are inaccurate and frustrating. All you need to do is purchase the cube, toss the activation code and instructions out. Load several merge apps and now the trial and error to see if any will work. It is cool once you get it to work but it is not worth the frustration.

Good price! Great for kids!
I got this for my son and daughter-in-law and we all tried it out. It was easier for the young folks to get started with it. There’s a good short tutorial that young people just seem to intuitively understand. So set-up is fairly easy.It’s about the size of a Rubik’s cube and feels like a stress ball. You have to hold it so that a flat surface is facing your phone – it doesn’t get angles.My daughter-in-law recommends it for school-age children who can operate a phone. There are some enjoyable apps aimed at children including educational ones about the brain and the body, artsy ones for building things like DIG. We tried many of the free apps produced by Merge Cube and they are good for experiencing the augmented reality aspect, but most are not games. The Piranha and Star Fighter games in the Things app are cute though.We also have the Merge VR goggles and liked the experience best wearing the goggles with the phone rather than the phone alone. Less coordination needed.We tried it with an iPhone SE, OnePlus 3, LG G4 (which might have had some lag time not sure why), and iPhone 6. The SE is small for the goggles so obviously didn’t work as well. All the other phones worked with the goggles.

My students enjoyed using them

The cube is great. The attendant applications are few and thugh this could be used as a great tool in the classroom. C# development is needed to make many more applications. Till thn it is a use afew times and put away in the cupboard kind of purchase
