Our mission is to create interactive smart companions that come with full educational app libraries.

 Our first product is Octobo, the smart, cuddly Octopus!

It comes with a plush, storybook, apps, and interactive tokens for a guided storybook experience.

Octobo supports unstructured play, where Octobo will react emotionally with facial expressions.  Octobo also also has a guided storybook experience where its interactive tokens are used to trigger games or answer questions.

As parents and children read Octobo's adventure books together, they discover what Octobo wants, give him things they find in the book, interact with Octobo, and see him respond to them. He has a tablet display on his head and soft sensors throughout his body.

Statement

The team have always had a strong attachment to tangible, physical products, and we feel sad seeing kids become attached to digital screens and no longer spending as much time playing with physical objects. So we set our goal to develop a game that has a tangible interface and a seamless hybrid of physical and digital gameplay -- which can also enhance a social experience around the game.

OCTOBO is...

•An emotional impactful story.

•A children's toy that seamlessly combines the digital and physical world.

•A toy that uses smart sensors to create exciting and unexpected reading experiences.
