OSMO

What is Osmo?

Osmo is a unique educational gaming accessory that opens up your iPad to the infinite possibilities of physical play. Crafted with reflective artificial intelligence, Osmo's advanced technology bridges the real and digital realms. It makes hands-on learning games in which players use objects in the real world to interact with the digital world shown on their ipad. This creates an environment for children where the line between fun and learning is blurred.

Visit your local Isaac Library to enquire about the use of Osmo tech and what opportunities for discovery in this space may be coming up in your area.

How it works?

Put your device in a compatible Osmo Base with the red reflector over the device's camera.

Play with the physical game pieces - draw, code, spell and more.

Osmo scans the table and the child's creations come alive on the screen.
