Cognitoys - Smart Toy Dinosaur
Educational smart Dinosaurs, with AI-technology, that learn and grow with children
While many smart devices have educational benefits, they’re still designed with grown-ups in mind. CogniToys are smart devices in toy form, tailored just for kids to provide an educational and entertaining experience without the need for a screen. While other smart toys rely on pre-programmed responses, the IBM Watson-powered Dinosaurs listen to kids’ questions and adapt to their age, allowing them to grow over time — just like kids do.
Loaded with fun personalities and tons of information, CogniToys are redefining learning in the digital age. The curious and conversational Dinos are powered by IBM Watson and Elemental Path's Friendgine technology, allowing them to deliver the kind of personalized play experience every child deserves.
Prioritizing safety, the smart toy’s microphone is muted by default. To talk to your Dino, hold down its Belly Button until you're finished speaking. Let go when you’re ready for it to respond.
