What is Areeka?

Areeka creates immersive educational experiences. We want to bring existing educational content to life, making learning both fun and more interactive. Based on several years of experience and research for more effective learning, we want to build the #1 Educational Metaverse — EduVerse.

Our experience cards bring e.g. animals and facts about them to life!

Sounds great right? But what exactly does that mean? Let me try it with examples:

Imagine you are in school, reading your biology book about the circulatory system in human bodies. There is one image, showing the heart and adjacent blood vessels. Now imagine if this section comes to life, suddenly this heart starts pumping and you can not only feel your own heartbeat inside your chest, but also see how this looks and works as an augmented 3D model - giving you not only an immersive experience, but adding some interactive content to help you learn and progress!

See a 3D augmented heart come to life!

Now that is Areeka. We have around 20 of our own physical products, such as booklets, posters and cards, around different topics with augmented reality content and interactivity. Additionally, we have our own, fully digital, educational, augmented reality experiences. No physical trigger needed, you simply choose an experience and can interact with it directly through the app. As you can see in the image above, we also have several cooperations with publishers and private companies.

The ISS — International Space Station and some facts around it as an AR experience, right in your living room.

However, that is not all. We have ambitious goals as we want to build the #1 Educational Metaverse — EduVerse.

We want to do this by using our app as the entry point to the Augmented Edutainment Platform. In this platform or EduVerse, we want to use the scientific concept of a “pedagogically designed space” in which kids can discover and learn according to their own interests & pace. The content shall be based on existing, educational content. We want to be a digitalisation partner to translate analog content into the digital world and enhance it with interactivity, gamification, and immersive, i.e. Augmented Reality, experiences.

Have I lost you? Stick with me for a moment.

Imagine your kids are in kindergarten and mainly learn through stories, songs and playing. We are partnering with the market leaders in elementary pedagogical content development. They produce songs, stories with illustrated boards or image cards to teach kids yoga for example. Now imaging your child’s favourite story character is available at your fingertips to sing your child’s favourite song with him/her or do some easy and simple yoga movements. These are experiences we want to create!
