Setup

1. Place iPad in Base: Gently insert your compatible iPad into the Osmo Base. Ensure it is seated securely in the stand.
2. Attach Reflector: Place the red reflector over the iPad's front-facing camera. The reflector directs the camera's view downwards onto the play area in front of the iPad.
3. Download Osmo Apps: Download the necessary Osmo game applications from the App Store. The included Masterpiece and Newton apps are a great starting point for hands-on learning.

Operating Instructions

Once the Osmo iPad Base is set up and the reflector is in place, you can begin playing Osmo games. The reflector allows the iPad's camera to 'see' and interact with physical game pieces or drawings placed on the table in front of the screen.

• Interactive Play: Launch any Osmo game. The game will guide you through placing physical pieces or drawing on paper in the designated play area. The iPad's screen will provide real-time feedback and visual cues.
• Masterpiece App: Use the Masterpiece app to learn drawing. The app can convert photos into outlines, which you can then trace on paper. The iPad provides a live view of your drawing, helping you refine your skills.
• Newton App: Engage with physics puzzles using the Newton app. Draw lines or place objects on paper to guide falling balls to their targets on the screen.
