VIWO
VIWO is a musical box mixing the feel of wood and old-school mode of play with the magic of tech.
VIWO is a musical box that contains 16 wooden cubes that combine to form six different puzzles. It sets itself apart from other children’s toys because it mixes the feel of wood and an old-school mode of play with the magic of technology. When each cube has been placed in the proper place, it comes alive with a sound, and the box plays an entire song when the illustration is completed correctly. The logo inscribed on the lid also activates through touch, allowing the child to play their own music. By stimulating multiple senses, the puzzle mimics the sonic rewards of digital games.
