The problem

Today's children have been born digital, this is a fact that directly impacts teaching and learning methods. How to attract the attention of the little ones is a problem that every mom, dad or teacher is facing in our post modern era.

The research

We start to research how tech and augmented reality was impacting the field of Education and teaching. Nowdays there is a lot of apps that uses this technology to get better results on teaching in an interactive and visual way.

The idea

Blend Analogic and Digital

After research we decided to create a game who blends the analogic world (card games) with the digital world (tablets, smartphones + augmented reality)

Augmented Reality Cards

Play and Learn is an augmented reality game created for teach English who integrates challenge (Question) shown on the device to the solution to be given by the students with the offline cards.

3

Feedback

The app indicate, through a fun 3D animation in augmented reality if the student hit or missed the question. Each card have his own animations of Correct and Incorrect answers.

The game modes

To increase the challenge and motivation we design 3 different game modes, 3 levels of difficulty and also a Ranking - so students can check their progress and try to beat their friends.
