Hats off to Amazon for this one. We just got it a couple of days ago. The Wife and I tested it out. Extremely easy to set up. It works as described. I'm looking forward to playing and teaching our grandchildren for years to come.
My daughter-in-law (and granddaughter) demo'd this for me last night. It is absolutely brilliant. Part of what the digital world has been missing is the interaction with physical objects. Turning a shape digitally is not the same as physically. Manipulatives are important. This mixes physical with digital, and allows children to interact with other family members. Nori could play a matching game and call me, and I could play it with her. As a business model, it also allows for the development of additional "kits". Which means more purchases, selling, and re-selling. Brilliant.
This toy needs to be expanded for adult use. The use of a second screen to show people could be used for video conferencing, with 1 or more people. Sharing the projector throughout each connected device would be great for white-boarding. For less-work related uses, it could work well for board games and pen/paper RPG's, as a shared social experience. The projector shows the gameboard, while the screen shows the players. Focusing this interesting device only on children is super-limiting it's potential. Also they should focus on both parties having one. Sell 2 instead of 1!
Just received ours in the mail yesterday! I'm excited to take it out and experiment with it before we give it to the kids for Christmas. This is perfect since all of their grandparents live out of state.
This needs a camera pointed with an option for a table and child view for grandparents to see in case kids want to do something physical too like build with some blocks or play with cars on a road in the book.
This will work later in the future, I still deal with old users who don’t know their passwords or operate these devices. How are they gonna operate these.
Even if microvision's lidar chip was in this, how much revenue would really be generated for MVIS? I can't imagine that Amazon would sell a ton of these though the concept is pretty cool. It reminds me of the projector and wand prototype that Gabe Newell of Valve had his engineers working on years ago that could be interacted with using their wand controller. He ended up canning the project. It also reminds me of a chuck-e-cheese I was at for a birthday party. They had an interactive projection displayed on a large area of the floor that a lot of the kids were playing with. I suppose the plus side for MVIS is they actually have this in a product as opposed to a proof of concept waiting to be integrated into something.
It's not microvisions lidar tech that would be in this. They have like four other verticals. This one might be the near eye display. I'm not exactly sure though.
I had this, it got discontinued because after 1 month of use, it stopped working and said a monthly subscription was required. Customers were p1ssed at this...
For this to be useful, the kid needs an adult who wants to play with them remotely? It sound like a terrible idea to me, unless it comes with the adult included...
Remove kids from the front of screens. Talk to them , hug them and do things with them. The amount of suicide doubled in the past 10 years . Aren't you alerted ?
Remove kids from it? What about the rest of us? We're all living with our faces stuck in screens all day.. At what point will we even need bodies anymore.
How about don't have kids if you cant have a nuclear family. This is why our world is so messed up. Life was so much better 50 years ago. So sad. Selfish people with traveling career's should not have kids. This is why chil child suicide rate have dramatically increased. Also those are all actors.
I do shift work and I don't want this damned thing or anything from Amazon in my home listening and watching us. Instead I just do this crazy thing where when I home I spend it with my kids giving them quality memories and let them know I care about and listen to them by....well, listening, lol. Humanity is doomed. The technocrats have admitted this much talking about hacking the human brain as proprietary property
@@BarnDoor-won5ve I'm 48 years old and have lived a full life. The most important time spent in life with children is when you're super busy and have no time 2 listen... Stop and listen!! Give them the moment and the time. When your old and looking back on life. If you have any emotions!! you will ponder on those moments. I raised 3 girls. 2 made it into adulthood but my baby Nikki committed suicide in 2021. Old Soul, Alpha Omega, Walks with Christ.. I am Michael

It's a shame that Amazon will disable the device and no one can use it now.

@Fast Cara yes it does haha
This was ahead of its time.
We got the opportunity to get this and it is AMAZING! My child is playing with his great grandfather 13 hours away tonight. So cool!

Imagine playing Dungeons and Dragons remotely on one of those bad boys.
2:23, That little "Bye". IT. IS. SO. CUTE!
it is died in 2023 after one year of glory.
it changed the world , i am not joking, seriously.
MicroVision powers this tech, I'm sure of it
LFG
how sure? unleash the hopium
Wow thank you Amazon for this amazing piece of tech!
lol microvision investors are sharks! we're in this product i'm 99.99% sure!!!
This sure looks like it’s powered by Microvision
This is cool, but my only question - can the projector mat be drawn on? Because my daughter would 100% just draw on it with markers.
Why don't you have it for Portugal?
super dim projection. How will it work in a full lit room?
from the help pages, you can adjust the brightness like a regular projector
Amazon's lack of privacy starts with them stalking kids

@@Michael-yk1lm Oh I see. I wasn't aware of that.
This must be powered by Microvision tech in my view.
Play in the dark then get echo frames for your eyes that go bad
I had this, it got discontinued because after 1 month of use, it stopped working and said a monthly subscription was required. Customers were p1ssed at this...
ok, whats with the audio
For this to be useful, the kid needs an adult who wants to play with them remotely? It sound like a terrible idea to me, unless it comes with the adult included...
from the help pages, the kid can also read and play alone....remote adult is optional
Esto es lo que yo imaginaba como escuela del futuro

Aaaaaand already dead. LOL.
MVIS MVIS MVIS!
Unless it has roblox my niece won't play it
What if kids stare too much into the projector beam, and go blind?
@Fast Cara The point is that kids could make that mistake.
After 1 year, it's discontinued.
Wow
Holy shnike
And now it is dead!

What about a grandparent out of state? Is that selfish?
