Welcome to the ARVRinEDU Advent Calendar 2022! Our special focus this year is on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math). These mini blogs will spotlight an immersive resource that can be easily implemented into the curriculum.
Hologlobe (SCIENCE, AR)
The Merge team has done it again! The Hologlobe app was originally created by Palmyra Cove Nature Park. The app is now brought to you by Merge with major upgrades, especially navigating the experiences. Our planet comes alive through augmented reality using NASA and NOAA data visualizations using near-real-time satellite imagery. From satellites orbiting the Earth to landforms to cloud formations to weather forecasts to fires and earthquakes, the Hologlobe app is full of surprises.
A consistent Merge feature is stamping the AR experience into your space. Stamp the Earth around your classroom and let the students compare the AR experiences side by side. Don’t have a Merge Cube, no problem! View the Earth in the Merge Cube, in 3D, on a flat surface (world view), or in the Merge viewer (headset). Each of these views delivers an immersive learning opportunity for our students.
