"The box will die, and money will burn paper." This is the industry's pessimism about TV boxes. However, some people say that games will make the box come back to life. Today we are talking about the little frog, which is the match that ignites the ashes.

@About Little Frog

For most people, Little Frog is a strange name. In fact, it is. But just as we used to be strange to Xiaomi. Xiaowa's owner, Microrun Technology, is an enterprise dedicated to intelligent wearable devices. Aiming at the innovative application of intelligent wearable devices, it combines intelligent wearable devices with entertainment and games to create Microrun Xiaowa. This is a somatosensory game console that can be worn on the feet. In fact, the game console is not exact, but is closer to the game handle. It can be connected to the mobile phone PC、 TV box and other intelligent terminals play games. After more than two years of research and development, Microrun has obtained 10 invention patents in related fields. With thick accumulation and thin hair, it is Little Frog's expectation for the market.

What I got this time is a public beta version, which is actually a prototype of the project. In the expectation of the public, Little Frog did not rush to mass production, but tried to complete the details before it was launched, because they understand that the launch is an interview, and it is too important to obtain the recognition of the market and users. Thanks Lei Feng for all the wordiness!

@About the original center

Little Frog is a somatosensory game device. It uses an original recognition algorithm to identify body action control games, and monitor the movement consumption in the game process to improve children's myopia, obesity, cervical spondylosis, physical decline and other problems caused by game addiction and lack of movement. The target group is 6-16 years old children, which aims to stimulate children's enthusiasm for sports in an all-round way, and turn the unhealthy game habit into a super fun exercise. It is said that playing games for 30 minutes is equivalent to jogging 4 kilometers and consumes about 200 calories.

This is Little Frog's original intention. For parents who have zero tolerance for playing, Little Frog has turned simple fun into a form of sports, which seems to be a better change. Because we can never forbid children to play, we can only make play more meaningful.

@About products

Because it is an engineering prototype, many places have been simplified, so what we see now may not be the final form of the little frog. So today is mainly about the combination of ideas and experience, and will also reveal some of the latest trends about Little Frog. Since it has not been mass produced yet, there is no packaging, and the accessories are extremely simple, including the host, the buckle, and two batteries. After mass production, cartoon kits will be delivered, which will hurt users from their appearance.

Small, very small, is the first impression of the little frog. The structure is very simple. The slightly transparent front cover can see the "viscera" of the little frog. There is not a button on the whole body, but only a battery compartment on the back to place batteries. The author originally wanted to complain about the appearance design of Little Frog. Of course, I believe many friends are the same. But in fact, this is a device built into a sports shoe, and what we see now is only a bare machine. The shoe version will be released in South America. Due to some force majeure in China, it needs to wait for some more days.

The button battery CR2032 is used as the battery, which can play games for 100 hours continuously. If only the step counting function is used, it can be used for two months continuously. Although it is already excellent, it still needs to be replaced frequently. I suggest you consider replacing it with a built-in lithium battery. Otherwise, frequent replacement of the battery is actually a big expense, and the key is very troublesome.

The buckle is only a temporary form, so the workmanship is... Let's not say it. After mass production, there will be cartoon covers to replace its function, so that users can place the frog on our shoes and play happily.

@About Games

This question is very important for Little Frog, because the content is the core. At present, there are not many somatosensory games on the market, but at present, Little Frog still uses the transplantation of mobile games to achieve content.

In the game bin of the exclusive APP, we see some games that have been adapted at present. It mainly focuses on parkour, skiing, football and other games. At present, it is still in the internal testing stage, and the game is even less open.

Fortunately, however, many game companies and game platforms have started content docking with Little Frog, such as Little Y Game. I believe we will see more games in Little Frog's game warehouse when it comes out. However, the expectation for Little Frog is that there will be exclusive games. After all, the experience of transplanted games is certainly not as good as that of exclusive optimized games.

@About Experience

How about the experience? I also spent a long time to experience and test, so the report was submitted much later than before. Objectively speaking, for the little frog now, the experience is still a little bit painful.

First of all, ROOT is required. Since it is not yet fully open, many games still need ROOT permission, resulting in extremely bad experience. Fortunately, several non ROOT games have been launched in succession, and this problem will not occur after mass production.

The second is connection. Now when changing a game without ROOT status, it cannot be automatically connected. Every time, it needs to be manually connected, which is also a troublesome place.

The third is the game delay and misoperation. Although there are many patented technologies, the most advanced algorithms also have shortcomings. At present, there is a delay of 50 milliseconds, as well as possible misoperation due to the algorithm relationship in some kicking actions. At the same time, somersault and other movements, such as in Skiing Adventures, cannot be realized.

Finally, there is the bug problem on the APP side. The APP will also flash back instably, and there will also be embarrassment such as incomplete display.

Is the product meaningless? Obviously not, the above problems should be realized after mass production, and the small delays and misoperations currently occurring should also be within the allowable range. After all, it is necessary to display the smoothness of operation completely without error, and no product can achieve 100% at present.

In fact, in the experience, we can feel that the game experience of Little Frog is very good. After mastering the skills, it can basically complete the experience very smoothly. Little Frog also provides the functions of counting steps, calculating calories, and converting them into fruits such as turnips, which can enable Baobei to achieve sports effects after the game, directly converting them into how many vegetables and fruits he has eaten, Very innovative.

@Is it worth buying

At present, Little Frog can only say that it has provided a very excellent concept, with three or five games, but users certainly need more. Now it is only the engineering machine stage, so it is hard to say whether it is worth it, but we can imagine it.

The mass production version of Little Frog is mainly used to arrange TV boxes or smart TVs. For users, it is worthwhile to buy a product that allows children to exercise and be healthy while playing. At present, the selling price of Little Frog has not been announced, but it can be sure that it should be around 100 yuan, and it may be lower if crowdfunding. In this view, it is actually a good choice for parents.
