Now, Smart Toys To Send Your Messages to Kids
Washington: Researchers, including one of Indian-origin, have developed smart talking toys that receive audio messages sent from parents' smartphone and play them out to the kids.
The toys enable a two-way conversation, allowing children also to record their reply.
Gauri Nanda, a designer, entrepreneur and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab Alum has developed 'Mailmen' - a new breed of smart toys that connect wirelessly with the home WIFI network to receive voice messages from anywhere in the world.
"First our team created the Mailmen, the toys that deliver your Toymail. Then we developed an app where you connect to kids you know, record them a message, and send it right from your phone to their toys," Nanda said.
Children can reply to their Toymail directly from the Mailmen and the Toymail app will store it so that it can be played back from a smartphone.
