'Ocean Pets' from Pai Technology is a unique toy that teaches kids about sea creatures through both tactile and digital play.
There are many virtual aquarium apps across the Internet that can be downloaded, but this one sets itself apart from others by including a hands-on crafting component. Kids are invited to make their own colorful fish creations out of clay, which can then be scanned into the iOS or Android app to come to life before their eyes. In order to care for the digital fish that they created, kids will need to feed them regularly.
Through augmented reality, kids are also able to see their fish swimming on the walls of their bedroom, at school, or wherever else the interactive virtual aquarium app from PAI Technology is used.
