Mozaweb is now available in China! In January 2014, our Mozaik team attended the BETT expo in London England where we encountered a great producer of educational content in China, Yuanlai. This was the beginning of Mozaik’s presence in the world of Chinese education.

Mozaik Education has licensed the use of 12 of our books to be used by the children in China, including the complete “Secrets of our Environment” series. This is a printed book series which includes an activation code which can be entered on mozaWeb and the students are given complete access to the books in the form of online digital content, via our educational platform. In other words, the book is also made available to them, in its entirety, online. Since this time we have been proud to offer our printed books and mozaWeb to the people of China and salute our partners at Yuanlai for their dedication to excellence in education.
After almost two years of successful and mutually beneficial collaboration, there are plans to license new books in the near future and Mozaik’s books are also available now from a variety of bookstores, online distributors and retailers.
Academics' Choice Awards™ aims to help teachers and parents search for the best educational software, toys and books. Highly qualified academics, parents, homeschoolers and teachers evaluate the product on its ability to develop cognitive skills of students. The products are examined on their success of building higher order thinking skills, ability to engage students, positive influence on character building of the students etc. Only the true “mind-building” products can survive the rigorous scrutiny of the Academic’s Choice Awards team.
We feel honoured to receive this award and are very thankful for the positive feedback we received from the reviewers. One of the teachers on the committee said: “My students loved watching the 3D panoramic images and presentations on our whiteboard. I loved that they were actually paying attention! Not only can I assign homework and design new lessons using the powerful tools, mozaBook even has a built in browser so I can point students to more content that loads right in mozaBook! It's much more than a presentation software program, it's a make-me-look-good as a teacher program that's actually effective!”. It makes all the numerous people who put effort into creating mozaBook extremely happy to see that teachers love our software.

We think our 3D scenes are already cool, but today we’d like to announce it to the world: our 3D models just got even more amazing!
Every one of the interactive scenes which include the Walk feature, available on mozaWeb, have entered the world of virtual reality. More than 60 3D scenes can now be used with a virtual reality headset through the new mozaWeb 3D viewer. Download the mozaWeb 3D viewer to your Android smartphone from Google Play. The iOS application is also available on the App Store.
See for yourself: open one of your favorite 3D models, open the Walk feature, denoted by the walking man icon. A small icon of VR glasses will appear. Just click on that and place the phone in your VR headset. Then have a walk around! Just look down towards your feet to start and stop the movement.
Don’t have a favorite model in mind? Here are a few of our team’s favorites. (Once you've downloaded the app, these links will automatically open the app) :
Medieval inhabited bridge (London Bridge, 16th century)
The city of Babylon (6th century BC)
Viking stave church (Borgund, 13th century)
Nikola Tesla's laboratory (Shoreham, US)
Any type of Virtual Reality headset will work - you don’t have to spend a lot of money for a fancy pair of glasses to walk around and explore a new world. Everyone in the business development department has tried it and with great response! We hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we do.
We are developing this feature for every 3D scene that we have so stay tuned. Soon you’ll be able to use your VR headset for every type of animated model.

We have amazing news for all the fans of Mozaik 3Ds:
Many of our most beloved 3Ds have gotten a makeover! They are now more colourful, more detailed and basically just much, much harder to take your eyes off them. I know it is hard to believe that Mozaik 3Ds can get even better than they already are, but our 3D developers really exceeded all possible expectations this time around.
By now, about 30 3Ds have been transformed, and our team is working hard to bring new, amazing graphics to even more of them.
Dinosaur fans should check out the new and improved, even more amazing T-Rex. T-Rex is one of the most beloved Mozaik 3Ds, and I am sure this upgrade will make it even more popular.
For Biology geeks, we have the fresh, freakishly realistic human hearing 3D. Make sure you click on the sound icon at the upper left corner of the 3D window to see how our ear processes sounds of different frequencies.
The above-and-beyond (pun intended) Gagarin 3D is ready for all the space lovers.
The brand-new version of the Red Deer is so cute that absolutely everyone should go check it out. I promise you will love it.
I could go on describing how awesome our new 3Ds are forever, but really, what’s the point, if you are just one click away from enjoying them yourself. If you are a registered mozaWeb user, you simply need to login to access the 3Ds; if you are not registered yet, what are you waiting for? It is free of charge, and you will have immediate access to some very exciting 3D models.
Now excuse me while I explore the life-cycle of the Solar System 3D.
