bermandt — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 18:25:15 +0000

Recently Lok8u Ltd was launching Nu•M8 – an innovative new best friend for parents and children – at CES 2009.

Nu•M8 is the world’s first GPS locator device specifically designed to be worn by children with the technology cleverly concealed within a child’s digital watch. Its unique design features ensure that the parent locates their child, not the technology.

Nu•M8 tells you exactly where your child is, anytime – at home or even abroad.All you need is a mobile phone or a computer to find their precise location.

And unlike similar locator products, num8 has been cleverly concealed in a child’s digital watch that is securely fastened to your child and cannot be removed or deactivated without your knowledge. No other child locator in the world can match this.

Another great feature of Nu•M8 is the ability to set up a virtual fence as a ‘safe zone’. If your child steps outside this zone you’ll know straight away.

If Nu•M8 is removed without your permission an instant alert is sent straight to your phone and/or email with your child’s location. It means total security, absolute peace of mind, all day long.

Recommended for children aged 3-12 years old, Nu•M8 goes on sale in the spring with a recommended retail price of £149.99 (US retail price to be confirmed), plus a monthly subscription charge start from £4.99 per month.Minimum contract term 18 months.

Augmented Reality is Not Just 3D Books

bermandt — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 15:04:21 +0000

Children loves the flap book.Just name one is Mariel,my 3 years old daughter. She has more than 6 flap books. She loves to read and lift the flap book. I think she can’t wait for new technology call Augmented Reality (AR).This technology enables viewing 3D object on to the book,using web cam and PC/laptops.It was a good news from Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany,ArsEdition ’s upcoming interactive 3D book Aliens & UFOs, provides a good example of Metaio’s Augmented Reality (AR) technology. It superimposes 3D objects (like the UFOs) onto the real world through camera recognition software, which is downloaded by a user after the book is bought. The only thing needed is a modern web cam on a Windows-based PC. Currently, there is no listed price or availability for the Aliens & UFOs book, but the AR-enabled Atlantica 3D Interactive book will be available in mid-November.
