Stunningly amazing for my kid
My 5-year-old son is staying home as the kindergarten is closed due to Covid-19. He is very annoying, running around and requesting one thing after another. I was so irritated because I could not do anything.
And boooom - I saw Zoptiks in Appsumo and thought it may help. No, Zoptiks does not help - more than that. It is the first time he used and immediately got stunned with the Zoo trip (African Safari). It is truly like he is participating that Zoo trip we have not been able to bring him to in April due to limited time. 4D Hologram (better to see with a new iPad) made it so real, together with lots of videos to support. He plays 30 minutes in the ZooPedia and still in the exploring (without any disruption) until I have to stop him. And it is just a very small fraction of the trip.
We will visit the Ocean Explorer and the Ancient Egypt, perhaps by tomorrow. And there would also be Jurassic Jungle trip there. It is quite overwhelming, in a great way. The only one thing I dislike is that the app turns my mouse cursor into a fly / bee (don't know why, but personally I am not convenient as I was biten by a bee before).
Now I feel much more confident that my son will have a great virtual Summer trip, at home, to somehow compensate the trips that we have to postpone. Nothing replaces the real trip, but Zoptiks does an amazing job to make it stunningly real. Thank you so much Zoptiks team for this gift, which cannot be more timely!!!"

An Impressive Start Into The Home-Based Immersive Learning
I like it that it requires no mobile app installation. A lot of interactivity just based on using browser alone. Coupled with a VR goggle, it offers a fun immersive experience for kids and adults.

Saved my sanity the past few weeks
My kids (1st and 3rd grade) have been at home for nearly two years now, and everyone is fed up. Hybrid learning isn’t working for us because I don’t have 4 to 5 hours a day to tutor my kids. I really didn’t want to think about this summer because without school I don’t know how to keep my little critters occupied! Then a friend of mine pointed me towards Zoptiks and it’s been great so far! The holograms are so real and actually make you think in really interesting ways. For example, one of the sea turtles flippers is cut off and that’s Zoptiks way of starting a discussion about environmental hazards in the ocean. The kids take pictures of each other posing with the animals and have fun little photoshoots on their iPads and its so cute.
Each field trip is pretty well done and has a lot, it’s basically an 30 minute interactive video with popups and banners, 10 holograms sorted into little profiles and a few activities like matching games or find the word puzzles. There’s also exploration stations that use Google Earth.
I don’t really care much for the classroom curriculums, but I would say they provide the standards they comply with and then teachers can go in and make it work for their lesson plans.
Overall 8 out of 10, because all the field trips aren’t ready yet, but the Zoptiks team is releasing a new one every week this summer so it’ll be fun to keep up. The summer camp is worth it, just for saving my sanity a few hours the past few weeks.

Zoptiks is such a unique concept
Zoptiks is such a unique concept; I really hope they stick around for the long run. As a reader, you can see the progression day by day as they write about various creatures. My son and I look forward to learning about the surprise creatures and is become a routine for us.

Zoptiks is the only place on the internet that’s implemented something like this.
Most people see Zoptiks as an education platform for social studies/science and it is but in my eyes it's the early technology education that speaks to me. How often do you have kids that are exposed to holograms!
No really, like bring into your room and take a picture with it holograms. Pet it holograms, Look inside the spaceship holograms. Almost never. Zoptiks is the only place on the internet that’s implemented something like this to teach young kids and it's simply incredible. Speaking to the tech side of things, the entire app and website are well built using modern technologies. I’m not sure how they do some of the things and provide this service for so cheap, because I know running holograms from the internet is an expensive cost.
Best of luck to our local Zoptiks team for what may be the product of the summer. I can’t wait for you guys to grow.

Virtual Summer Camp? What’s that?
Our local summer camp is opening up but we chose to not send our kids this year because most kids aren’t vaccinated yet. It such as risky time for all of us because the majority of kids aren’t safe yet but are so angsty all the time. My husband found Zoptiks on Appsumo earlier this month and I am so grateful to have this tool this summer. The holograms are like nothing I’ve ever seen before; and we don’t even need an extra app to download. All you need is an iPad or a computer/phone. I would think of the first few field trips like mini animal books. Each one has a theme (Africa/Ocean/Dinosaurs) and you can bring a dozen or so of the animals to life at home and take pictures.
I don’t think, I’ve every imagined getting so close to a dinosaur before, or even all the fish. The videos in each field trip are documentary style but it varies for each one. Some of them use 3D graphics and video games and some are live shot. There are also other activities that kids work through to get points.
One of the things I’ve noticed though is that our kids are coming back every day and asking for Zoptiks time, they actually like it and I’m pretty sure they’re learning because they keep asking me questions about things all day. It really is a little imagination starter.
Thank you to the Zoptiks team for the work you’re doing and I look foward to checking out all the other field trips coming soon.

Frequently Asked Questions.
A microschool is a type of school that is smaller in size, more flexible and allows for personalized learning. It usually consists of a group of students, often from different grade levels, meeting in a non-traditional setting, such as a home, community center, or online. Microschools often focus on project-based learning and individualized instruction.
A virtual field trip is a type of educational experience that allows students to explore different parts of the world or learn about a subject without leaving the classroom. These field trips are accessed via the internet and typically combine video, audio, and interactive features (like our holorgrams) to provide a unique learning experience.
Virtual field trips can be used to explore locations that may be difficult or unsafe to visit in person, as well as places that may not be accessible to all students for practical reasons. They offer a valuable educational opportunity that enhances traditional teaching methods, providing students with a more engaging and memorable learning experience.
