An Interactive AR toy can help them understand information at their comfort level and retain it for long. This is better than reading books or watching a video. Moreover, AR toys have an edge over videos and digital apps—thanks to motor skill development. In essence, AR makes learning truly inclusive and flexible. AR creates vibrant digital content controlled by tactile play. Various forms of digital content like audio, video, 3D figures, and images are combined to create a powerful learning experience for children.
