Their flagship product, the Virtuali-Tee, is a scientifically designed T-shirt made from 100% cotton that allows users to explore human anatomy through AR via a dedicated app available on both iOS and Android platforms. Another notable offering includes the Multiverse Posters, which transform traditional posters into interactive learning tools by bringing the wonders of the universe to life through AR interactions. These products cater primarily to families, educators, and children, aiming to foster a love for science and enhance STEM education in both home and classroom settings. Curiscope products are marketed and sold in various geographical regions, including the United States and internationally, reaching a diverse customer base eager for engaging educational resources.

Curiscope generates revenue through direct-to-consumer sales as well as partnerships with retailers and resellers. The company's business model primarily involves selling their products, such as the Virtuali-Tee and Multiverse Posters, directly to consumers through their website and platforms like Amazon. Additionally, Curiscope may engage in partnerships with educational institutions to supply their innovative AR products, further broadening their market reach. Pricing structures for these products typically reflect the unique value delivered through the integration of AR technology, appealing to customers seeking high-quality educational tools.

The emphasis on creating compelling, hands-on learning experiences contributes significantly to their transactional framework within the educational space. In April 2017, Curiscope Limited raised GBP 770,000 in a Seed funding round led by LocalGlobe, which will support their future growth initiatives. The company plans to develop new products to enhance their educational offerings and expand into additional markets, targeting regions such as Europe and Asia by 2025. The funding will be utilized to accelerate product development and marketing efforts to increase brand visibility and consumer reach.
