By integrating real-world coding challenges and project-based learning, we prepare students for the future of technology. Whether used in introductory courses or advanced computer science classes, our apps provide a scalable, engaging learning experience that keeps students motivated.
Kai's Eye Robot Tracker
Google Play (Android) [Grade: 5 – 10]
App Store (iOS) [Grade: 5 – 10 ]
Requires: KaiLab Robots and Adventure Mat
Kai’s Eye Robot Tracker (Grades 5-10) is a mobile application (available for Android and iOS) that serves as the central tracking and communication hub for the KaiLab (formerly Kai’s Clan) robotics system. By mounting a compatible device on a tripod overlooking a physical adventure mat, the app bridges the physical and digital worlds.
Features:
- Robot Tracking: Utilizes the device’s camera to monitor the precise position of Kai robots on an adventure mat by tracking their unique QR codes.
- Cloud Gateway: Acts as a bridge between the physical robots and the Kai’s Cloud network using the device’s Bluetooth and internet connection.
- Real-Time Synchronization: Constantly communicates robot positions and sensor data to the cloud portal (approximately once per second), allowing all classroom participants to see live updates.
- One-Time Camera Calibration: Features a guided calibration process to align the camera view with the entire mat, ensuring accurate digital representation in 2D and 3D maps.
KaiLab App
(Formerly Kai's Lab App)
Browser (Web App) [Grade: 5-10]
Requires: KaiLab Robots and Adventure Mat
KaiLab App (Grades 5-10) (formerly known as Kai’s Clan) is a collaborative, cloud-based coding platform designed to bridge physical robotics with immersive 3D, AR, and VR environments.
It acts as the central “command center” for the KaiLab ecosystem, enabling a multiplayer-style learning experience where students work together in a shared digital space.
Features:
- Collaborative Multi-Robot Coding: Supports a unique “multiplayer” environment where multiple students can code different robots on the same mat simultaneously, encouraging teamwork on complex missions.
- Progressive Language Support: Caters to all skill levels by offering Blockly for beginners and a seamless transition to text-based coding in Python or JavaScript for advanced users.
- Real-Time IoT Integration: Features a robust engine that allows robots to interact with real-world sensor data, enabling them to react to their environment and communicate with other smart devices.
- 3D & AR/VR Visualization: Code is instantly reflected in a 3D digital twin of the physical mat, which can be explored through immersive Augmented and Virtual Reality for a first-person perspective.
Kai's Virtual Viewer
Google Play (Android) [Grade: 5 – 10]
App Store (iOS) [Grade: 5 – 10]
(Meta Quest, Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3S,
Meta Quest 3, Meta Ques Pro)
Requires: KaiLab Robots and Adventure Mat
Kai’s Virtual Viewer (Grades 5-10) is a real-time visualization system designed to work with the KaiLab (formerly Kai’s Clan) robotics platform. It creates a digital twin of the physical environment, allowing students to see their physical robots represented as animated 3D avatars within a virtual world that corresponds to their physical AR/VR Adventure mat.
Features:
Real-Time Synchronization: As students code their physical robots to move on the mat, their digital avatars move simultaneously within the virtual viewer, providing instant visual feedback on their programming.
- Multi-Platform Accessibility: The viewer is highly flexible, running directly in web browsers (PC/Mac/Chromebook) or as a dedicated app for iOS, Android, and VR headsets like the Oculus Quest.
- Augmented & Virtual Reality: It supports AR mode on mobile devices, overlaying the virtual world onto the physical mat, as well as a fully immersive VR mode for a first-person perspective of the robot’s environment.
- Custom Avatar Support: Students can personalize their experience by loading custom 3D models from platforms like Tinkercad or Minecraft to represent their physical robots in the virtual space.
