Sports tracking bracelet for children, LeapBand, let children play while learning

With the rapid development of science and technology, children's recreational activities have also changed. Many children who may still be in kindergarten are often seen playing the latest games with ipads or smartphones. Will there be wearable equipment tailored for children? The answer is yes.

Leapfrog, an educational toy company that has launched a toy tablet computer for 4-9-Year-old children, recently released a LeapPad LeapBand, a tailor-made campaign for 4-7-year-old children. Unlike Jawbone,fitbit, the adult movement tracking bracelet, leapfrog the company's ingenuity to add an electronic pet game element to the LeapBand.

In the LeapBand, there are 8 different virtual pets, but also preset such as "Walk Like a crab" or "Jump like a frog" such as 14 different motion commands. When a child completes a certain amount of "exercise" or other tasks, it can get points to unlock new games or new pets. LeapBand tries to help kids develop healthy habits and stay alive by allowing them to "take care of" virtual pets in the form of games.

In addition, parents can download more than 50 kinds of different motion commands from the leapfrog supporting applications, and specify the target of the movement, and monitor the completion of the children. There are also "school models" and "sleep patterns" for parents to switch to prevent children from playing games at school and distracting.

The LeapBand will be equipped with a high-resolution (128 x 128) 1.44-inch TFT screen, but does not support touch-screen operations, all of which can be done by physical keys on the machine. At the same time, LeapBand's fuselage is also specialized in strengthening and waterproof treatment. The child wearable device has a pink, blue, green three shell, priced at $39.9 and will be officially available in August.
