These tech toy gift ideas showcase the amazing intersection between technology and play, as well as integrations working to better introduce children to the STEM field.
Designed by PlayShifu, the Plugo is an AR-focused educational toy that is meant to introduce children to the STEM field. While plenty of toys manage to achieve the same feat, the Plugo stands apart as it uses AR to be more immersive to children, while also leveraging the technology to enhance children's mental development through the system. The education tech toy relies on various kits to offer experiences with each kit incorporating learning and physical development in a digital age.
Also featured in this list is the '6DoF Blaster,' an AR toy that incorporates a smartphone for a fully immersive experience. The name is a reference to its capabilities as the '6DoF Blaster' allows for six-degrees of freedom in a space that becomes a virtual battlefield.
