Already thinking of what to buy your child for Christmas? How about a cute and cuddly Augmented Reality (AR) Teddy Bear that doubles up as a fluffy cadaver for your kids to explore?
Developed by seedling, a company that redefines the nature of play by creating a set of innovative toys and products that help harness the creative spirit and learning capabilities of children, ‘Parker’ is the world’s first ever bear that uses Augmented Reality to create an interactive world that brings children’s imagination to life.
Priced at $59.99 and available for purchase now, Parker requires nothing more than a mobile or tablet device with the Parker App installed on it to function and enables children to live out their childhood fantasies whilst simultaneously nurturing early ambitions of a future career in medicine.
Parker, god bless him, isn’t the healthiest bear in the woods and will regularly fall victim to tummy bugs, fevers, sore bones or a scratchy throat, and as his sole carer, it is the child’s responsibility to nurse him back to sunny days whenever he’s feeling under the weather.
Along with a special thermometer that lets the child take his temperature, the smartphone/tablet application will use the device’s camera to inspect the bears internal organs and monitor the bears happiness levels that increase every time the child solves a problem or completes a game.
