Category

Amima is a plush toy paired with an e-reader that uses sensors to create a holistic educational experience. Ami, the talking plush friend, uses speech recognition, accelerometers, force sensors, location awareness and more to interact with children on a physical and conversational level. Ima, the soft, flexible e-book reader plays games, tells stories and introduces children to screen interfaces. Together, Ami and Ima become Amima.
