Smart City AR VR Adventure Mat
Smart cities need smart thinkers. The Smart City Adventure Mat includes interactive 3D, AR, and VR content that challenges students to explore one big question: “How will future cities impact the people who live in them?” Using sensors, IoT, and creative problem-solving, students engage in both on-the-mat and beyond-the-classroom activities that connect coding to real-world urban challenges.
Built for classrooms, this mat is durable, easy to clean, and folds neatly without creasing, making setup and storage simple.
Each mat also unlocks a virtual smart city environment, accessible in three formats:
3D via Chrome, Safari, or Edge browsers
Augmented Reality (AR) with a compatible Android or iOS device
Virtual Reality (VR) with a compatible Android or iOS device
Comes with complementary lesson plans
The KaiLab AR/VR Smart City Adventure Mat gives you access to exclusive Smart City lesson plans and activities, along with a fully interactive 3D coding environment, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) experiences.
Explore an even wider library of coding lessons, or design your own to match your classroom’s needs.
Engage students like never before by bringing their code to life through immersive AR/VR simulations and hands-on robotics challenges!
QR Code tracking for an enhanced AR / VR experience.
The unique codes on the Smart City Adventure Mat unlock a Mixed-Reality Mission, transporting students into Kai’s AR universe. Here, coding becomes an adventure—students don’t just program a robot, they guide it through dynamic virtual obstacle courses, watching their creativity and problem-solving come to life in real time.
Every lesson transforms into an epic journey. By scanning the mat, students reveal a virtual layer where their coded creations navigate city challenges and showcase their ingenuity. The 8×8 city-themed grid mat is also versatile enough for fun activities beyond STEM, such as classic board games like chess, checkers, or snakes & ladders.
