Halo AR vs Zapworks for Education

Halo AR is a mobile augmented-reality creation and sharing app that works without desktop software or coding. Using a phone or tablet, creators can build experiences in its AI-powered studio and distribute them through QR codes or deep links. Viewers can use phones, tablets, or mixed-reality headsets including Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest, and Microsoft HoloLens. The app overlays photos, YouTube videos, or 3D models on photographed flat objects. Educational projects can add video, audio, 3D models, voice explanations, and animations to posters, textbooks, worksheets, and flashcards. Museums can create digital exhibits, self-guided tours, interactive artwork, expanded collections, and historic-site visualizations. Catalogues, prints, and souvenirs can link to supplementary educational experiences. Halo AR says experiences work without Wi-Fi. It supports iOS and Android; Android setup requires a camera-equipped phone or tablet with ARCore. Plans include BASIC at free billed annually, PRO at $99 a year billed annually, and ENTERPRISE with no listed price. The company also offers custom collaboration, Discord, and live-chat support.
