Arlektra 4+

Needs work

I love the concept, but the AR does not work very well, especially in relation to the breadboard. I think you need a non-AR mode that I can just move with my fingers on the screen so I can just reference the image as opposed to trying to overlay it on the breadboard. Too much fussing around.

The lessons dont track your progress. I think you need to have some badges or progress tracker.

I think you should have lessons build on other lessons to make the board layout more complex over time without starting fresh for each project.

The jumper wires do not easily slide into the breadboard and so the tips end up bending. The kit should have come with hard tip jumper-wires.

I would say 4 stars on the hardware and concept, and really 2 stars on the app for now, but I see a lot of room for improvement over time.

Doesn’t work as advertised.

Doesn’t work as advertised. The AR feature is really bad. 90% of the time it doesn’t work and just bounces around. They should have videos and reading tutorials along with the AR, cause the AR doesn’t work.

Hello Mahesh,


Thank you for your review and feedback. We are sorry that you have come across some challenges and would be glad to help you in resolving them. We ask you to follow some of the most common solutions below, that more than likely affected your experience thus far - which are a set of requirements for almost all Augmented Reality experiences:



1) Only use Arlektra on a table/desk solid in color (no patterns or abstract designs)
2) Only use Arlektra on a table/desk free from items or clutter in, on or around it
3) Only use Arlektra in a workspace that is not too DARK or LIGHT (please test in your area)
4) Make sure there is no glare present on the Arlektra Breadboard
5) Hold your device 10 inches away from the breadboard (Steadily and Smoothly)



We 100% stand behind our products and advertisements, and believe if you follow the tips above – you will have a completely different experience to report. To follow up, we would like to hear from you directly on your continuing Arlektra experience, and ask you to please reach out to us at: support@arstemlabs.com



If you have any other questions or comments, please let us know. We look forward to hearing from you soon.



Best regards,

So Awesome!

I never knew what Augmented Reality was, so I was really skeptical when we purchased the Arlektra kit for our son. The 3D experience mixed together with the hands-on projects are really impactful, and helped my son understand different concepts of electricity as he followed the lessons and built circuits. Thank you so much for an awesome teaching tool and learning experience!
