Polo
Learn languages by exploring the world!
The vision behind Polo is an educational platform for languages that allows you to learn in a ludic manner. Modern gamification methods are a powerful tool to help you spend the time necessary for learning the fundamental building blocks of languages without even noticing. We aim to create a platform focused on practical communication skills, such as vocabulary, pronunciation and implicit grammar. No homework, exams or grades are necessary, you should forget that you are learning different language topics and simply enjoy exploring a world full of adventures. Behind the scenes, the system observes your progress and continuously optimizes your learning path with customized exercises sequences of mini-games.

As a demo, we have published an augmented-reality app for learning vocabulary. Simply register, verify your email and start exploring!



Polo is currently available for iPhone, you can download from Apple Store as Polo Education.
Released Polo demo for learning vocabulary. Simply register and start exploring!
How it works: Once you start exploring, look around with your mobile device and touch on the screen the detected objects. This will trigger a sequence of questions in your mother language to help you understand the name and the use of the object.




Look around with your mobile device and touch on the screen the detected objects.
You can also select the Vocabulary language (the one you want to learn) and the App language (the one used for teaching). The default language for learning is German and for teaching is English. Currently English, German and Spanish are available for both, teaching and learning.
​
The vocabulary is grouped by Environments, such as Kitchen or Garden. Currently the demo app can detect objects in a Kitchen environment and has a couple of questions associated with each object. You can check your progress and the missing objects in the Progress menu. Click Reset Progress to start answering all questions again.
