Bringing remote fun to grandparent conferencing: Kinoo

Techstination feature for Wednesday, December 8, 2021

Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.       A tech toy that can bring children and grandparents or other relatives closer together.   Kinoo is a company created by Jim Marggraff …and it allows lots of remote fun.   Initially for iOS devices…it enables video chat along with shared games and activities…like decorating a cake or creating a pizza together…playing matching games and more.    Some use the Kinoo Wireless Wand that on screen can turn into a mixing spoon….a fishing rod and more.   Marggraff…who has created smart pens and the Leap Pad…says the idea is to bring generations together in ways that are engaging and fun…

“You want an exchange.  You want bonding.  A connection.  So what happens next is we have characters that facilitate the play. 

An almost four year old we tested with simply couldn’t get enough and again it is all done together.   Check out www.Kinoo.com for more.
