What is MIXAP ?
MIXAP is a free, open-source tool that uses Augmented Reality (AR) to create interactive activities on top of existing pictures and objects.
It is made for teachers to make lessons more playful and engaging, but can also be of interest to:
- museums, touristic and cultural venues looking to create interactive exhibitions
- artists working on interactive artworks
- companies wishing to test and preview Augmented Reality before developing custom software
Open-source Community
MIXAP is open-source software.
The code and its documentation are on the Forge de l’Éducation Nationale under the AGPL license. You can download the source code to build your own projects and contribute to the community by posting bug reports or proposing new versions of the app.
MIXAP is also available on La Digitale, the main educational open-source platform in France.
MIXAP is currently available in English, French, Danish, Greek and Turkish! If you want to add your language, please contact us, we can do it! We just need your help to make sure the translation is good quality.
