A user points their phone at a barren street corner and sees their 6-month-old virtual oak tree swaying in the breeze, birds nesting in its branches.

Pagoda
An AR-powered learning companion that transforms the traditional abacus into a spatial computing experience for children. As kids slide beads to do calculations, they see the math visualized as 3D layered structures growing in front of them - addition builds upward like a pagoda, subtraction reveals inner layers, multiplication creates branching truffle-like patterns, all visible from a giraffe's elevated perspective. This multisensory approach helps visual and tactile learners grasp abstract math concepts through physical manipulation paired with immersive spatial visualization.
The Wow Moment
A child struggling with multiplication slides abacus beads and suddenly watches a beautiful multi-tiered pagoda grow in 3D before their eyes - each tier representing a place value, each bead becoming a glowing architectural element. They reach out (giraffe-like) and rotate their creation, seeing how 12 × 5 literally builds a structure with 5 tiers of 12 rooms each. The math is no longer abstract - it's something they constructed with their own hands and can explore from every angle.
