mozaik3D

Overview

mozaik3D is a multi-subject educational app built around interactive 3D scenes, videos and learning activities. It is best suited to students aged 8 to 18 who want to explore school topics visually across subjects.

Its broad library and interactive tools make it more versatile than a single-topic simulator, but the free account’s weekly caps make it better for occasional exploration than sustained study.

Key features

The library contains more than 1,300 interactive 3D scenes. Students can rotate and enlarge scenes or inspect them from preset angles; most also include narration, animation, captions and quizzes. That mix supports visual exploration and practice in one place, while the multi-subject scope is useful for learners moving between topics rather than those seeking a narrowly focused science tool.

Walking, exercises, games, freehand drawing, search and filtering add ways to navigate and engage with the material. Subscribers also get access to hundreds of videos, media library items, educational tools and games. More than 110 scenes support native VR, with additional scenes being added; the app is available through the Meta and Pico app stores. VR is therefore a meaningful option for selected scenes, not a library-wide mode.

A STUDENT licence includes mozaBook use and lets students connect to a teacher’s mozaBook for classroom work. A licence works across multiple devices, but only one device can be logged in at a time, which rules out simultaneous use under one account.

Pricing

The free account costs nothing and allows five 3D scenes or educational videos and five educational tools or games per week. That is enough to sample the resource, but regular learners are likely to hit the caps quickly.

The Mozaik STUDENT list price is €36 a year, billed at 36 EUR per student per year. It covers one student across multiple devices with full access to interactive content and educational applications. Licence packs for 30 or more users cost €26 a year, billed at 26 EUR per student per year, with the same stated access for each student; that lower rate is relevant to groups, not individual buyers.

For an individual student who expects frequent use, the list-price licence removes the weekly restrictions and adds mozaBook access. The free tier is the sensible choice for occasional use or evaluation, while larger groups can reduce the per-student price through a qualifying pack.

Platforms

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

Who it's for

Students aged 8 to 18 are the intended audience, and the multi-subject library can suit learners who want a shared resource for several school topics. Teachers may also find the classroom connection useful when students use mozaBook. Those looking for unlimited access without a subscription, or simultaneous use of one licence on several devices, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pros: More than 1,300 interactive scenes, plus videos, tools and games, give students a broad range of material beyond a single subject.
• Pros: Rotation, narration, animation, captions and quizzes make many scenes usable for both exploration and practice.
• Pros: STUDENT licensing includes mozaBook and classroom connection, and supports use across multiple devices.
• Cons: The free account limits weekly use to five scenes or videos and five tools or games, restricting regular study.
• Cons: Only one device can be logged in at a time, so a licence cannot be used simultaneously across devices.
• Cons: Browser-based scene access requires installing a listed player, adding friction to web use.

Alternatives

For science learning options, browse Science Learning Software. Beyond Labz is another freemium option, with a free instructor tier for teaching, previews and assignment building, and a Chemistry plan at $31.95, paid once-time payment. Pick it when those instructor tools or its chemistry focus better match the need.

PhET Interactive Simulations is a stronger fit for students or teachers who want free, open-source simulations that can be used online or downloaded. PraxiLabs offers a free month with three simulations and basic real-time guidance; it suits a short trial of guided simulation work.

ExploreLearning Gizmos may suit schools and districts seeking a limited free collection or a customized paid package. LabXchange is a free option for learners and educators who want educational resources on a grant-funded platform.

Concord Consortium STEM Learning Tools provides free resources for noncommercial use unless otherwise noted. Inq-ITS offers tiered school and district plans priced by student numbers, with district-wide and multi-year options.

Legends of Learning is a web-based option for teachers who want classroom assignments; its free Basic Teacher plan allows three concurrent live and queued assignments, with gameplay limited according to district size.

Verdict

mozaik3D is a strong choice for students who want visual, interactive material across several school subjects, especially when classroom use of mozaBook matters. Its subscription unlocks a substantial library and varied learning tools, but the free weekly allowance is narrow. Choose another option if you need unrestricted free access or a licence that supports simultaneous logins.
