There are numerous ways that this tool could be implemented in a school, especially in STEM or Science courses. Using the application along with the eyewear and stylus, students can see and manipulate objects. This provides opportunities for students to interact with objects that they might not have access to otherwise, even things like genes and fossils.

They also offer free demonstrations through the sales department. The purchase options would need to be carefully considered when looking at this investment to decide what type of purchase best suits your particular situation.
