Arloon Geometry 2.0.4

Can you envision exploring polyhedrons in your Geometry classes through the use of Augmented Reality technology?

This innovative approach offers an engaging method for students to explore the fundamentals of geometry. The application provides 3D models of various geometric shapes integrated with Augmented Reality, enabling users to interact directly with the figures. Such interactions are designed to enhance students’ spatial visualization skills and deepen their understanding of geometric concepts.

• Recipient of the Academics' Choice Smart Media Award (July 2014)
• Awarded the Learning Best Practice Award (October 2014)
• Secured second place at the “La Caixa Emprendedores XXI” awards for entrepreneurial ventures (June 2014)
• Honored with the first Lanzadera business incubator program award (May 2013)

Ovi Barceló, a mathematics educator at Julio Verne Bilingual School in Spain, remarked, “The ability to unfold geometric figures provides highly didactic value.”

José Antonio Pascual Gimeno, Teaching Director and Science Teacher at the same institution, noted, “Students demonstrate a significant improvement in performance almost immediately after engaging with the application.”

Enhancing Geometry Education with Technology:

• Allows viewing of geometric shapes from all angles and visualizes how three-dimensional objects unfold into flat forms. The platform integrates conceptual knowledge—such as definitions and properties—with procedural skills, including formula application and calculations.
• Contains curriculum-aligned content and exercises to:
  • Study prisms, regular polyhedra, solids of revolution, and pyramids
  • Identify properties and relevant formulas for area and volume
  • Compare environmental objects with their geometric counterparts using Augmented Reality
  • Cultivate spatial imagination via manipulation of 3D and 2D models
  • Facilitate step-by-step exploration of formulas
  • Practice skills through exercises involving shape recognition, property verification, and calculation of area and volume

This application is tailored for students aged 11 and older, aligning fully with curricular standards. It is available in English and Spanish. A growing number of educational institutions worldwide are integrating ARLOON into their teaching strategies.

Educational Outcomes Include:

• Cognitive Development
• Critical Thinking Skills
