Yibu
A new learning platform transforms screen time into a meaningful and physically active experience.
Wooden toys get a modern upgrade with Yibu, a series of five knickknacks embedded with sensing technology that lets kids combine screen time and physical playtime. Each piece is wirelessly connected to a digital game character, which responds to things happening in their online world. The actions and challenges become more complex as the game progresses, allowing for more activity, more coordination, more brainpower, and more fun.
