AR Learning Tools
Interactive, immersive learning materials that let students explore 3D models and concepts hands-on, right from a printed page or worksheet.
Holosplash builds app-less augmented reality learning tools that let students explore concepts in three dimensions — turning a printed worksheet, textbook page or poster into an interactive 3D model they can examine, rotate and understand. No app, no lab setup, just a scan on the devices learners already have.
Learning you can look around
Some ideas are hard to grasp from a flat diagram — anatomy, machinery, molecules, historical sites. AR learning tools let students bring those subjects into the room as interactive 3D, exploring them from every angle. Seeing and manipulating a concept makes it stick in a way reading rarely does.
Built on what schools already have
Because the experience is app-less and browser-based, it runs on the phones, tablets and Chromebooks already in classrooms and homes. There is no software to install, no device lab to manage and no app store account required for students.
Accurate by design
Holosplash is engineering-led, so models are built to be correct, with accurate proportions, labels and call-outs that teachers can trust. The content is designed for clarity and curriculum fit rather than spectacle alone.
From printed page to interactive model
A scan of a textbook figure, worksheet or poster opens the matching 3D experience, tying the digital layer directly to the materials students are using. This keeps print useful while adding a dimension to it.
Measurable engagement
Every experience can report how often it is opened and how learners interact, giving educators and publishers insight into what is being used. Content can also be updated centrally without reprinting books or sheets.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you might want to know — grouped by topic.
The basics
What are AR learning tools? +
AR learning tools are educational materials enhanced with augmented reality, so that scanning a page or poster opens an interactive 3D model or scene that students can explore. They make abstract or three-dimensional subjects tangible and hands-on.

Who are AR learning tools for? +
AR learning tools are for schools, universities, training providers, museums and educational publishers who want to make material more engaging and easier to understand. They suit any subject where seeing something in 3D beats a flat diagram.

Why do AR learning tools work? +
AR learning tools work because active, spatial exploration improves comprehension and recall compared with passive reading of a 2D image. Letting learners rotate and inspect a model engages them and helps the concept stick.

What makes Holosplash’s AR learning tools different? +
Holosplash’s AR learning tools are different because they are app-less, engineering-accurate and tied to the printed materials students already use, with a hands-on build service behind them. Models are correct, not just impressive.

Are AR learning tools worth it for educators? +
AR learning tools are worth it when engagement and understanding matter, because immersive, interactive content tends to hold attention and improve recall. Built-in usage data also lets educators and publishers see what is actually being used.

App-less & WebAR
Do students need to download an app? +
No — students do not need to download an app; the learning experience opens directly in the browser from a scan. This avoids install permissions, app store accounts and IT friction.

How do learners launch an AR learning experience? +
Learners launch an AR learning experience by scanning a QR code or the printed figure with their device camera, after which it opens in the browser. The link can also be shared directly for remote or home learning.

Does it work on tablets and Chromebooks as well as phones? +
Yes — AR learning tools work on tablets and Chromebooks as well as phones, since they run in a standard browser. This fits the mix of devices found in real classrooms.

Is an app store account needed for students? +
No — no app store account is needed for students, which removes a real barrier for younger learners and managed school devices. The experience is just a web page with a 3D and AR layer.

Devices, browsers & compatibility
Which devices support AR learning tools? +
AR learning tools are supported on the large majority of modern phones, tablets and Chromebooks with a camera and current browser. Lower-capability devices still get an on-screen interactive view.
Sources: Holosplash platform compatibility testing · Verified by: Holosplash · Verified: 2026-06-19
Do they work on managed or locked-down school devices? +
In most cases AR learning tools work on managed school devices because they need only a browser and camera, not an installed app. Where a network blocks resources, we can advise IT on what to allow.
Sources: Holosplash project delivery · Verified by: Holosplash · Verified: 2026-06-14
Do students need the latest devices? +
No — students do not need the latest devices; the experience scales to the hardware and falls back gracefully on older equipment. It is designed for real, mixed classroom fleets.

What if a device can’t use the camera AR mode? +
If a device can’t use the camera AR mode, the tool falls back to an interactive on-screen 3D model so the learning still happens. No student is excluded by their hardware.

In the classroom
Can AR learning tools fit our curriculum? +
Yes — AR learning tools can be built to fit your curriculum, mapping each experience to specific topics, learning objectives or textbook pages. We design the content around what you teach.
Sources: Holosplash project delivery · Verified by: Holosplash · Verified: 2026-06-13
Which subjects suit AR learning tools best? +
Subjects that suit AR learning tools best are those with spatial or three-dimensional content — science, anatomy, engineering, geography, history and the arts — though almost any topic benefits from interactive visuals. We help identify where AR adds the most value.

Can teachers use them without technical skills? +
Yes — teachers can use AR learning tools without technical skills, since for students it is simply scan-and-explore and for staff it is sharing a link or code. There is nothing to configure in class.

Can the tools be used for remote or home learning? +
Yes — the tools can be used for remote or home learning because the experience is just a shareable link that opens in any browser. Learning is not tied to being in the classroom.

Do they need a strong internet connection? +
AR learning tools need a normal internet connection to load, after which the experience runs smoothly on the device. We optimise assets so they load quickly even on modest school networks.

Pricing & plans
How much do AR learning tools cost? +
The cost of AR learning tools depends on the number of models and their complexity, with hosted plans from €39/month and one-time 3D production priced by scope. We quote transparently after understanding the programme.
Sources: Holosplash pricing · Verified by: Holosplash · Verified: 2026-06-12
Are there discounts for sets or institutions? +
For larger sets or institutional rollouts we scope the work as a programme rather than single pieces, which is reflected in the quote. Talk to us about volume and we will propose the right structure.
