Hyper Dash uses RFID to make kids toys more interactive
Filed in archive Companies on August 22, 2007
I remember when I was a kid my dad used to get toys for me which were not interactive enough to make me happy and I used to wonder when will the day come when I could see my He-Man and Superman interact with each other and not just remain like cold stone. When I was a kid it just remained a dream and when I have grown into a full adult I come across toys which are fun to play with and incorporate the latest technologies to give today's kids a feel good factor and at times even makes me ask my god if he could again send me back into my childhood.
I earlier too have talked about toys using technology such as the HyperScan and Sniff which incorporate RFID and continuing with the trend of technology being used in toys here is another game which uses RFID. Dubbed as Hyper Dash, this timed racing game from Wild Planet utilizes RFID for tracking location of the child on a course and is defined using hockey-puck-size targets which need to be placed in an open space.

The game has a battery operated tagger which senses the target closest to it and gives out voice commands while being carried through the course. With various numbers and colors, the targets enable a variety of game modes which might deal with directions or simple Arithmetic. Along with it the multiplayer relay race enables children to pass transmitter back and forth for comparing time schedules. The game is priced at $ 30 and will be available within a few months. Certainly it would offer a fun filled experience to the kids.
