Eliminating Friction for Everyday Classrooms
By transitioning to a web-first architecture, Merge 3D allows K-12 students to explore complex science simulations, inspect digital artifacts, and create their own 3D models using standard web browsers on Chromebooks, Mac and Windows laptops, PCs, iPads, and smartphones.
Key Features of the Merge 3D Launchpad:
Centralized Content & Curriculum: Access thousands of interactive 3D simulations, open collections from world-renowned educational partners, and standards-aligned activity plans in one dashboard.

Active, Embodied Learning at Every Desk
Merge 3D transforms passive screens into interactive 3D learning environments through dynamic interaction modes:
Hand Tracking: Uses device cameras to let students manipulate 3D models on screen with natural gestures.
Head Tracking: Converts device screens into dynamic 3D viewing windows based on head movement.
Merge Cube Mode: Delivers tactile, hands-on interaction in the palm of a student's hand using augmented reality technology.
