About this project
iPhone and Android apps combined with innovative smart ball gets kids and adults moving with fun, physical games and activities
Please help us launch TheO™ now with a pledge.
This is an entirely new ecosystem for mobile gaming and learning. TheO is a uniquely designed soft-foam ball that combines smartphones and mobile apps to get people moving.
TheO™ works with the iPhone, iPod Touch, and Android smart phones.
The smart ball can be safely rolled, tossed and bounced, with a smart device protected safely and securely inside, while players physically interact with each other.
Together with specially designed mobile apps, TheO™ allows players to enjoy fun and physically active games while safely protecting their smart devices, each other, and their surroundings by taking advantage of the highly advanced capabilities of personal smart devices such as iPhones, Android phones and iPods.
TheO ™ uses smart device technology and apps to get friends and family playing fun, movement-based games that gets everybody up and moving!
Current game apps are Hot Potato, Bowling and Interrogo, a social interactive game. A wide variety of custom app-based games are in development. They all take advantage of the unique features of smart devices such as acceleration sensing, direction and motion sensing, plus sound and Bluetooth capabilities, allowing TheO to link with additional accessories.
TheO™ integrates smart device technology with physical fun-based activity using custom apps to promote movement and physical interaction. A single player or groups of children, teenagers, college students or adults can play movement-based apps with TheO™.
TheO™ accommodates Apple iPhone and iPod Touch’s, as well as over 95% of Android-based smart phones.
We need your help to produce TheO ™ and an entirely new generation of mobile apps to get everyone moving and having fun.
Following our Kickstarter release, TheO™ will retail for $24.95 and includes the ball plus a selection of apps included at no extra charge. Additional apps will be available for between $1.99 and $4.99 on the Apple App store and Android stores.
