Metaverse is a platform that includes an app and a website for creating, sharing, and engaging with augmented reality (AR). Users can combine scenes, characters, instructions, and navigation options to design a partial or complete interactive experience for the viewer. Using the app, learners can partake in an experience using a link, QR code, or social media platform.

What Users Love About the App

“Through carefully planned activities, users can collaborate to solve problems, find items on scavenger hunts, review content, and create unique experiences to share with the community.”

“With unlimited possibilities for creating experiences and new features being added continuously, teachers willing to spend the time can design or empower students to create activities that teach a variety of skills.”

“I use the app to create tours, scavenger hunts and interactive experiences to the students at our MS. Experiences are easy to build and can include a plethora of interactive, gamified mechanics to increase engagement. I love that it can also call to 3rd Party APIs.”

“As a teaching tool, Metaverse can truly increase engagement in the classroom. Giving interactive dialogue to AR characters allows students to interact with the content in ways previously unavailable. Powerful that students can also take charge of their own learning by creating and publishing their own experiences for their peers.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“Wading through the ever-growing collection of activities can be overwhelming. Most average users will need online video tutorials.”

“My only recommendations would be to allow users to copy/clone blocks for quicker experience creation, save custom blocks to a personal library for later use, and provide image based triggers to launch an experience rather than relying on a QR code.”
