mozaik3D

Overview

mozaik3D is a multi-subject educational app built around interactive 3D scenes and learning activities. It is best suited to students aged 8 to 18 who want to explore school subjects visually. Its breadth is a strength, but the free account is capped tightly enough that regular study requires a paid licence.

Scenes can be rotated, enlarged, and viewed from preset angles; most add narration, animation, captions, and quizzes. That combination gives learners several ways to engage with a topic, although the breadth makes mozaik3D a general learning resource rather than a specialist science simulator.

Key features

The library has more than 1,300 interactive 3D scenes. Walking, animation, exercises, narration, freehand drawing, games, and search and filtering extend the experience beyond viewing. Quizzes and exercises support practice, while the range of activities may suit learners who want to explore as well as review.

Subscribers also get hundreds of videos, media library items, tools, and games. More than 110 scenes offer native virtual reality, with more being added. The app is available in the Meta and Pico app stores, but VR applies to selected scenes rather than the whole library.

A Mozaik STUDENT licence includes mozaBook use and lets a student connect to a teacher's mozaBook for classroom work. The licence works across multiple devices, but only one device can be logged in at a time, which is worth considering for students who switch between devices during a session.

Pricing

The free account costs nothing and allows five 3D scenes or educational videos and five educational tools or games each week. That is enough to sample the range, but the weekly quotas are restrictive for regular learning.

The Mozaik STUDENT list price is €36 a year, billed 36 EUR per student per year. It covers one student, multiple devices, and full access to interactive content and educational applications. This is the straightforward option for an individual student who expects to use the library regularly.

The Mozaik STUDENT licence pack costs €26 a year, billed 26 EUR per student per year for packs of at least 30. It provides the same stated access for one student across multiple devices, making it relevant to schools or groups able to buy at that minimum. Both paid plans are annual; neither removes the one-device-at-a-time login limit.

Platforms

mozaik3D supports web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Minimum requirements include Windows 8.1, macOS 10.14, Android 8, or iOS 13, with 4 GB RAM on desktop or 2 GB on mobile. Opening 3D scenes in a web browser or on a special device requires installing one of the listed players.

For web use, the free mozaWeb account still has weekly caps. Support answers questions within 24 hours. MOZAIK EDUCATION LTD. is the data controller, and its privacy framework implements the EU GDPR.

Who it's for

mozaik3D is a good fit for students aged 8 to 18 who benefit from visual, interactive material across several school subjects, and for teachers whose students use mozaBook in class. Its multi-subject library and companion tools are more useful to learners moving among topics than to someone seeking a narrowly focused science simulator. Occasional users can try the free account, but its small weekly allowance is not suited to sustained study.

Pros and cons

• Pros: More than 1,300 scenes, with narration, animation, captions, and quizzes in most, offer multiple ways to explore and practise.
• Pros: A STUDENT licence includes mozaBook use and classroom connection to a teacher's mozaBook, alongside access across multiple devices.
• Pros: More than 110 scenes support native VR, giving compatible users an immersive option for part of the library.
• Cons: The free account limits use to five scenes or videos and five tools or games per week, so it is mainly a sampler.
• Cons: A licence allows only one active device login at a time, despite supporting multiple devices.
• Cons: Web scenes require an installed player, adding a setup step for browser users.

Verdict

Choose mozaik3D if you are a student aged 8 to 18 who wants a broad, interactive visual resource across school subjects, particularly when classroom mozaBook access is useful. Its large scene library and varied learning activities are the main reasons to choose it; look elsewhere if you need a generous free allowance, a specialist science simulator, or simultaneous use on multiple devices.
