High Tech Toys: Augmented Reality Heroes Inspiring Upstanding Behavior in Kids

About

As parents in the daily grind, sometimes it feels like we're prodding our kids through an obstacle course of mini challenges. "Come on ... … focus & get ready for bed.” ... be brave & try a new food." ... be generous & share your toys." ... be patient & wait until I'm off the phone." ... hang in there & finish piano practice." On the other hand, engaging kids with new apps & games is effortless. We needed something that engaged kids while inspiring good behaviour. So we developed The Virtuals™: A team of Augmented Reality (AR) heroes that join kids to encourage good behaviour & character virtues like Courage, Perseverance, Compassion, Honesty, etc. 3 products feature the heroes: our T-shirt, Wall Sticker & Card. When kids look at these items with our mobile AR app, the heroes appear in 3D to engage kids in educational games.
