Today, Elemental Path is beginning its pre-sale of CogniToys, a line of cloud-based talking dinosaurs that learn and grow alongside children. Recommended for kids ages 5 and up and introduced earlier this year, CogniToys is available in green, blue, or pink; and each dinosaur measures roughly 7.5 inches tall.
CogniToys, which raised more than $275,000 on Kickstarter, combines the Elemental Path Friendgine—a patent-pending platform that supports each toy’s ability to engage a child and develop a unique personality—with IBM Watson’s cognitive processing capabilities.
Highlights of the CogniToys line include:
• They can initiate and engage in real conversations: Speech recognition allows the toys to sustain engaging conversations using intelligent, age-appropriate content.
• Uniquely personalities: They can remember individual attributes—e.g., a child’s favorite color—and even tell knock-knock jokes and provide answers to, “Who?” “What?” “Why?” “Where?” and “When?” questions.
• Integrated parent panel: A web-based dashboard allows parents to monitor their child’s progress in real time, providing insights into learning skills, suggestions for improvement, and content moderation.
• Internet connection: CogniToys are internet-connected devices that automatically update with new content.
