«Find Cassiopeia”—an AR game where kids connect stars using head movements, gradually revealing the constellation.
Through intuitive experience, the child is introduced to the principle by which people found recognizable patterns in the night sky.
The studio is for younger and middle-school aged kids.
The project is also suitable for family leisure, educational activities, and museum programs.
The goal of the mask is to introduce kids to constellations through simple and engaging interactive play.
