AR Educational Material ARpedia | Open the book and the pictures come to life.
ARpedia
When you open the paper picture book, the images start moving on the tablet. It is a set of 10 books featuring dinosaurs, space, robots, and a giraffe-shaped camera.
ARpedia is a children's AR picture book and educational material that combines paper picture books with tablets. It was developed by the South Korean educational company Woongjin ThinkBig and is sold by IZUTSUYA Co., Ltd. By propping a tablet against a camera shaped like a giraffe called "SPOTTY" and opening the picture book in front of it, the camera reads the book and the illustrations come to life on the tablet screen. You can participate in the world on the screen using the included paper markers. Unlike materials that only involve watching videos, this allows children to turn the pages of the picture book and pick up the markers to read at their own pace. It includes ten books on STEM learning themes such as dinosaurs, space, weather, and robots, aimed at children aged 4 to 9. It has been selected for the "CES Innovation Awards" at the CES technology trade show in the United States for three consecutive years from 2022 to 2024 (according to the developer's announcement). Please consult us for anything from a single set for home use to bulk introductions for classrooms and facilities.

Company information
IZUTSUYA Inc. digitizes real-world spaces and objects by combining 3D/4D scanning, centered on 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), with AI. We adopted 3DGS in our work early, in 2024, and have recorded buildings, traditional crafts, plants, and even human gestures and dance movements as high-fidelity 3D/4D data. We provide an end-to-end service: capture, data optimization and mesh conversion, and publishing, sales and license management on our own 3D data platform, 3Dasset.io. From digital archiving of cultural heritage and infrastructure inspection DX using LiDAR point clouds and AI, to Location XR experiences that combine places with human movement, we help bring 3D technology into culture, construction, tourism and entertainment. We choose between DSLR cameras, 360-degree cameras, LiDAR and markerless motion capture according to each project, and work with research institutions to field-test new equipment and methods.
