How many of you have spent time with the educational games of the series Sapientino? My favorite was the one with which, through a kind of pen, you had to touch a point on the interactive card following a question, such as: "What is the cat?". Well the times have certainly changed and technology is increasingly available to children and our beloved Xiaomi demonstrated it on several occasions, presenting a series of products on our crowdfunding platform that often made us the envy of us adults.
And the latest gadget that the Chinese OEM has pulled out of its magic cylinder is just dedicated to the little Mi Fans, that is Machine Island AI Point Pen, an interactive pen that does not need to write but to read. Shipments will start to date 28 February while the asking price is of 299 yuan, about 40 euro at the current exchange rate, but let's discover together what are the main features of the new Xiaomi product.
As mentioned above the Xiaomi Machine Island AI Point Pen does not need to write but to read, simply by passing the smart pen over the words printed on a book, while the'intelligent assistant of Xiaomi (Xiao AI), will think about the conversion of what has just "read" into a voice. Furthermore, the assistant can also be used for recreational activities such as the story telling but also for learning as it is capable of perform translations between Chinese and English.
Xiaomi Machine Island AI Point Pen is the smart pen that reads instead of writing
Of course, the smart side donated by the connectivity with theproprietary application that will allow us to visualize statistics on the level of learning of the child, exploiting the connection 802.11 WiFi b / g / n. Finally, there are some features dedicated to the intelligent evaluation of the pronunciation as well as a development of the learning of the child based on five macro steps. On balance the Machine Island Ai Point Pen resembles a small one walkie-talkie, or rather, it is one of the functions that can be exploited by allowing two children to talk to each other even if they are located in different rooms.
The gadget is available in two colors, such as the pink and heavenly. It is not clear if the books on which to learn can be of any type or if you need to buy them separately and then proprietary, but perhaps they are information that interest up to a certain point, since it seems clear enough that marketing in our country will never happen.
