MERGE Cube

The Power to Hold the Digital World

The Merge Cube lets you hold and interact with 3D objects, changing how you learn, play and create in the digital world. Merge Cube is the most natural device for interacting with 3D objects and the only tool of its kind.

Get Started

Merge Cube works with Merge EDU, our K-8 standards-aligned STEM platform for learning and creation. This includes the Object Viewer and Merge Explorer apps. Both apps have free and paid options.

Object Viewer

Transform 3D models into virtual objects you can hold

Object Viewer lets you upload, view, and share 3D objects on the Merge Cube! Easily turn 3D models into virtual objects you can hold in the palm of your hand.

MERGE Explorer

Explore Science in Completely New Ways

MERGE Explorer uses innovative AR/VR spatial learning technology to teach standards-aligned science topics from K-8th grade in completely new ways.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Object Viewer doesn’t have a place to put my activation code?

Currently there is NOT a prompt in Object Viewer that requests an activation code (the code found in your MERGE Cube package). The only codes used in Object Viewer are Object Codes. If you do not have a code, tap the “Shared Objects” tab within the app and you will see a few objects that have already been uploaded. Find more object codes here. Find out how to upload your own object here.

What’s the difference between an Activation Code and an Object Code?

The Activation Code comes inside the MERGE Cube packaging. You can find it under the Cube on a purple square. This code is no longer needed to experience the MERGE Cube Apps.

The Object Viewer Code is generated when you upload a 3D object in the “My Objects” section of MERGE Miniverse (you must be logged in Miniverse to upload objects). You can share this code with other people so they can view your 3D object using MERGE Cube and the “Object Viewer” app. Here’s a list of Object Viewer codes to get you started.

How can I use Object Viewer without uploading my own 3D models?

The “Shared Objects” tab includes pre-uploaded objects from MERGE. Just select one of the models and it will appear on your MERGE Cube (without needing to enter a code).

Here’s a list of additional 3D models to get you started. Just copy the object code and enter into the app to enjoy!

Which VR headsets are compatible with MERGE Cube?

While they’re not necessary to enjoy MERGE Cube, using AR/VR Goggles will super-power your Merge Cube experience! We recommend the MERGE Headset, since it meets all the necessary requirements for using MERGE Cube apps.

Other AR/VR headsets must meet the following requirements to be compatible with MERGE Cube:

  • Must have a camera access window (so the phone’s camera can see the cube)
  • Must have at least one physical touch input button
  • Must be Google Cardboard V2 compatible
Is the MERGE Cube sold internationally?

We are working to make MERGE products available in as many countries as possible.

Currently MERGE Cube, MERGE Cube app experiences, and MERGE Goggles and are only available in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom with plans to expand to other countries very soon.

If you happen have a MERGE Cube outside of the U.S., Canada or the United Kingdom, there are paid apps experiences available worldwide on both IOS and Android devices.

What’s the difference between VR Mode and Mobile Mode?

Using “VR Mode” allows you to experience MERGE Cube while wearing virtual reality goggles, while “Phone Mode” lets you use MERGE Cube just with your smartphone or tablet.

Do I need an AR/VR headset for the cube to work?

Nope! You can use MERGE Cube with just your phone or tablet -- simply choose “Phone Mode” when you start the app. If you want to use with MERGE Headset, choose “VR Mode” and insert your phone into MERGE Headset (or other AR-enabled headsets).
