SenseTrix EDUcational Services (STEDUS) is a system where members can get new kind of tools to aid in education. These tools turn learning to experience based, fun, more memorable and informative and thus speed up learning curve and improve the knowledge transfer. It is global system where new teaching methods can easily be adapted from any other school or institute, even another country. The system is suitable to any level of education for every country and for many subjects.
Example 1: Teacher ahead of class showing example of object on inclined plane. Students see affecting arrows and other extra info on top of real object. As teacher moves the object, arrows and other data change accorddingly in real time.
Imagine being able to really inspire the future generations to learn about the wonders of science. Think about what your classes would be like if you could tap into a knowledge base providing fun and educational experiments adapted to suit your curriculum. Now, ponder the amazement of your students if you could present these experiments in a futuristic manner and let your students really take part. We're not talking about some farfetched dream; we're introducing you to STEDUS.
SenseTrix Educational Services (STEDUS for short) brings a world of science experiments to your classroom utilizing cutting edge technology. Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology combining your physical environment with virtual worlds creating immersive and interactive experiences for the students and trainees. AR based STEDUS has the power to turn passive learning into experience-based learning by giving / visualizing important, mostly non-visual information to experience-based training while experimenting.
As a teacher, you know how hard it can be to compete with all the fun stuff available to the kids or students of today. Between videogames and handheld entertainment devices, it can be hard to cut through the fun and flare with the important stuff. Kids are used to being entertained and amused. Well, who said education can't be entertaining and amusing? STEDUS provides try and fail experiments without endangering your students, making "dull" subjects shine.
As a part of the STEDUS community you, your school and your students benefit from having numerous fun and educational experiments to choose from. You can also request experiments you want to provide for your students. Once tailored for you and your use, the rest of the STEDUS community worldwide, will be able to use this experiment for their classes. It's really a win-win situation.
Able to deliver on multiple platforms like personal computers, tablets and smartphones, the need for investing in expensive, hard to use hardware is completely eliminated. We provide a hassle free high-tech experience for you and your students, guaranteed to bring hours of fun, fascinating experience-based education.
Example 2: Student is experimenting with a lab flask and test tube, and from her monitor she sees as hologram-like, floating 3D-molecules, what is the content of flask and tube in molecular-level
Example 2: .. and when she is mixing the contents of the flask and tube, she will see in 3D-animation what happens at the same time in molecular level

Drivers and Bottlenecks in the Adoption of Augmented Reality Applications
If you purchase a STEDUS license, typically you will get:
Would you like to have similar applications for each subject within certain course or grade? Such as all the subjects from 2nd year physics book, according to your specific curriculum? Then you can either do it with the license mentioned above, OR you can put up a research project with us, during which those will be created.
At later point we will add here:

As school in following, it means any type of school giving education, at any level, or any other educational institute. This includes also such as science centers.
| STEDUS mini | STEDUS basic | STEDUS pro | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of orderable AR applications | - | 1 | Unlimited |
| Number applications to use, including those that our other clients will order | 1 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Number of possible installations/computers to be installed into within same institute | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Price for license for 1 week | - | 500 € | - |
| Price for license for 1 month Why is there 2 prices? Because you can receive 50 % discount easily! See below for details |
- | 1000 € if promoted* 2000 € |

| Price for license for lifetime | 100 € | - | 50000 € |
* Special price for schools that promote other schools to purchase STEDUS. See more information below.
For all prices it will be added VAT (=European Value Added Tax) if necessary.
If purchasing school promotes an another school to purchase STEDUS license too (with same or higher level of license), the price will drop 50 % for all upcoming license periods for the promoting school, as seen from table above. To know which school receives this discount, ordering school need to mention promoting school as reference when making their order.
You can receive your discount even if it happens AFTER (during next 6 months of ) your own purchase: If the promoting school has already paid their license, and the reference code is received within 6 months from the payment, the discount will apply still the same year. This will then be either paid back or received as free next year, depending on choice of school receiving this reward.
This applies for promoting only 1 school. Other discounts or benefits may be gained by further promoting STEDUS - for it to be ordered by even more schools. This is to be discussed separately case by case (might include i.e. free exclusive software or hardware, even more discounts etc.)
Price for ordering new application to be used under same license: 0 €
If developing of this application requires visiting site of ordering school or some other site (i.e. to see the premises where it is to be used at and equipment it will be related to), the cost is travel and accommodation costs + 100 € + VAT per person per day. Depending on situation the number of persons might differ (i.e. small development team to design and finish order on site, or only the designer)
Estimated price for exclusive order: 5000 € + VAT. Exclusive order means that application will be created as normally, but only for use of school placing the order.
All purchases are to be paid before delivery. Delivery will start as soon as possible after amount is received by SenseTrix.
In case there is a SenseTrix products reseller in the country of school ordering STEDUS, the order will be handled by that reseller (including invoicing), even in the case the order comes directly to SenseTrix.

On the right you can see few images from testing some of the educational applications.
Some of them were used to teach mathematics to visitors of Heureka, science center at Vantaa, Finland. As a result, many children, even the ones under 10 years, learnt to calculate prime numbers. Some smaller learnt multiplying and youngest ones the simple additions - all before they were even been thought to them in school - or before they even had started school.
"At the Night of Mathematics in December 2012 at Heureka, the Finnish Science Centre, Mr. Seppo Laukkanen from SenseTrix organized a workshop using their pilot applications. This pilot was designed especially for the Night of Mathematics and it gave children of all ages the possibility, for example, to do sums and practice with prime numbers. We had some 2000 visitors at the event, and the feedback on SenseTrix’s workshop was very positive. Children had fun and said they learned a lot. Many came back several times. In science centre terms, the workshop had both drawing in -power and holding-power. Parents clearly appreciated this new way of learning and were themselves interested in using the technology. We also had many teachers among our visitors, and we heard many of them wishing they had this kind of tools at school. People appreciated the physical aspect of the workshop, as well as the social one: they jumped around and talked a lot while counting."
