Download the Osmo World App and follow the prompts.

Put your device in an Osmo Base (included with starter kit) and place the red reflector over the device’s camera.

The process can be distilled into the following three steps. We loved the fact that getting started was quick and easy. Reassuringly, the reflector only captures images within a confined area, to protect your child’s privacy. The Osmo app then processes the image and translates its effect into the digital world. It’s so intuitive and easy to set up and use.Īt first, it feels like it’s working by magic, but after checking out the FAQ’s on the Osmo website, I realised it uses a reflector to bounce an image of the player’s game piece arrangement or drawing into the device’s camera. It’s a lot more fun than doing drills with a tutor and offers a range of levels and subject areas. It’s essentially an app for iPad and iPad minis (it also works on Fire tablets) but its point of difference is that the screen game is paired with a hands-on, tangible component. We have come across the most remarkable educational tool called Osmo.
