Panasonic has announced smart learning toy called PA!GO, which helps children explore the world around them. It looks like a flashlight with two buttons. When a child points PA!GO to an object that interests him and presses the first key, the device takes a picture, recognizes the object and reads a short description through the built-in speaker.
If the preschooler wants to learn more, he can click on the second button, and then PA!GO will contact the Google Knowledge Graph to get more information.
Using the Chromecast function, the “smart flashlight” will be able to display on the big screen all the plants, animals, insects and other objects that the child met during the day.
“The developers hope that thanks to their concept, children will be able to break away from smartphones and other devices that absorb free time, and will more often be outdoors, learning new things about everything that surrounds them,” hitech.vesti.ru reports.
