Visitors at the 69th Spielwarenmesse can visit the Tech2Play activity area in Hall 4A to see highlights of the newest tech toys. The show takes place from Jan. 31 to Feb. 4, and the tech section will feature German and international manufacturers across four categories.
The featured categories include Robot Toys, RC Toys, Virtual Play, and Electronic Learning. The activity area gives independent retailers and buyers the opportunity to gain an overview, try out the products, and find new ideas for their toy ranges.
The Robot Toys category focuses on interactive toys that teach programming skills to kids. The category features Germany’s Kinematics GmbH, UBTECH Robotics Corp. from China, and more.
Additionally, RC will feature an entire section devoted to remote-controlled (R/C) vehicles with drones and multicopters. Companies that will be showcased here include Sieper GmbH, SIKU, and Neat-OH! International.
Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) add new aspects to the overall virtual experience. The Virtual Play category showcases products from companies including Goliath Toys GmbH and Rollplay/Paragon.
