MoreiCrosss Lite is a free educational application designed to help users learn solid geometry. It allows you to build cross-sections of various polyhedra in an interactive 3D environment.
The app supports regular polyhedra (Platonic solids), Pyramids, Prisms, Anti-prisms, Archimedean solids, and their duals. You can explore these in a 3D representation that can be rotated.
To build a cross-section, you define a section plane by tapping three points on the faces of the polyhedron. The app offers two view modes, including a '3D cut mode' to work with resulting solid pieces.
The provided description does not specify offline play capabilities. However, as an educational tool focusing on 3D modeling and geometry, it is likely to require an internet connection for certain features or updates.
For each selected solid, iCrosss Lite provides a short description, the number of faces, vertices, and edges, a web link for more information, and relevant formulas visualized using a custom rendering engine for LaTeX.
With an age rating of 4+, iCrosss Lite is designed to be accessible. The app includes a tutorial mode to quickly guide users through its features, making it easier for beginners to grasp the concepts.
The application was last updated on December 12, 2014, with version 1.3. While this indicates a significant gap since the last update, the app's core functionality for learning geometry remains available.
No, iCrosss Lite is ad-free. The application is free to download and use without any advertisements interrupting the learning experience.
