Nokia Storyplay: videoconferencing for bedtime stories

storyplay

Elmo, one of the most popular characters ever, makes his appearance in this electronic reader from Nokia called Storyplay. Much more than an electronic reading device, it is designed to let kids have their bedtime stories with their parents, granpas or anyone wishing to read along with them even if they’re far apart. Place a real paper book in the middle of the device (with magnets on each page to identify what is being shown), then watch the two screens on the top: one is the footage of Sesame Street characters, the other shows the floating head that’s reading along with the kid. A alternative to Kindle that looks like a creative and entertaining learning tool.
