“This is such an innovative idea that definitely succeeds in bringing education to life. The basic idea is that you use it with an AR-enabled app, so when you scan your device over the globe you can explore the places virtually. There are definitely a few things I’d improve… The good: - It comes with some extras I wasn’t expecting, including a little passport, stamp and a book of stickers. So fun! ”
