Mind board games are great, fun, educational and social but digital games or apps are replacing them. Smartphones or tablets are also great, but they are for individual users. Toyji provides a better solution for parents, families, friends, and schools by featuring digital mind board games in one dynamic tabletop gaming platform with a marketplace! The human brain is plastic; it can form and reorganize synopses in response to learning. Based on that principle, Toyji’s neuroplasticity-focused educational games improve cognitive, logic, social, motor and STEM skills. Our gaming hardware is a patented portable tabletop gaming board that connects with USB or Bluetooth technology to any smart device like iOS, Android tablets, mobile phones, game consoles, Android TV's and desktop/laptop computers. Our technology allows us to detect up to 16 interchangeable, 3D-printable, customizable and interactive smart toys simultaneously by supporting two-way communication on the board, sending their ID, position and orientation data in real-time to any interactive application developed with Unity3D Game Engine with our SDK. We wanted to make something more than just a tablet game or a standalone smart toy, more than just a fun pastime, so we made Toyji, combining tangible gaming, digital entertainment and fun learning in a way that brings families, friends, and children together. Toyji is a personalized gaming platform that offers families and schools educational games taking place in a fictional universe, played with customizable and interactive smart toys. Show less
