The
Merge Cube hit the scene for most educators in April of 2018. Wal-Mart stores had purchased a large inventory of the product, but no one seemed to know what they were so they did not sell. Wal-Mart then decided to put the merge cubes on sale for $1.00. Then the always creative, on-a-budget educators saw value in them and snatched them up at the low price and boom - the merge cube frenzy began in education!
The Merge Cube is a holographic cube that allows users to physically hold and interact with 3D objects using augmented reality (AR) technology. Currently the cube costs $15.00 - $19.99, and it is compatible with iOS and Android devices. It features dozens of games and experiences built for it, and users can build their own creations to project onto it using a variety of tools including Tinkercad, SketchUp and CoSpaces.
