Innovative T-Shirt By Curiscope Allows Kids To Explore The Inner Body Like Never Before Using Augmented Reality


BRIGHTON, England, March 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- As seen on The Today Show, the Virtuali-Tee is a high-quality cotton t-shirt with a design that comes alive when partnered with the free, Virtuali-Tee by Curiscope app. A perfect smart toy for curious kids, the t-shirt's unique design is picked up by the app's camera function, allowing users to virtually explore and dissect the pumping heart, lungs, and other organs in the torso to bring learning to life. For a 360-degree experience, they can pop their phone into a pair of VR goggles to immerse themselves entirely in an anatomical adventure. The experience can be enjoyed with others or alone through the 'selfie mode.'

Designed by UK-based Curiscope, the t-shirt is already one of the best-selling toys in England. "We created the Virtuali-Tee with a mission to make virtual and augmented reality available to everyone and to truly bring learning to life," said Ed Barton, CEO and co-founder of Curiscope. "The t-shirt provides an accessible, interactive learning experience that is unlike anything else. Our intention is to encourage curiosity and wonder in kids, allowing them to explore the unexplorable."

The Virtuali-Tee interactive learning t-shirt is available for purchase through the Curiscope website (www.curiscop.com) and on Amazon.com. The Virtuali-Tee by Curiscope app is available for FREE on iOS and Android and can be downloaded onto your phone or tablet. The t-shirt is priced at $29.95 and is available in kids and adult sizes. It also comes beautifully packaged in a conveniently-sized gift box.



How to use the Virtuali-Tee:

  1. Download the free app (available on iOS and Android)
  2. Put on your Virtuali-Tee or get a friend to wear it
  3. Open the app and point your phone or tablet at the Virtuali-Tee to start exploring. You can also explore the body in selfie-mode
  4. Interact with the body by clicking on 'hotspots' where the anatomy expert, Hans Glover, will guide you through the vital organs in the body
