Before Christmas, the little princess received the wonderful discovery of the Grape Discovery, and she was so happy that she could not close her mouth. After a week of in-depth experience, she could not put down this set of toys. What magic makes children love it so much? Now let's unveil the mystery and explore the wonderful world together.

[Wonderful Discovery]

Wonderful Discovery is a smart toy promoted by Grapevine Technology. It uses image recognition technology to integrate classic traditional toys with modern technology, bringing a new game experience. Through human-computer interaction and multiple intelligence technology, children's interests are effectively guided, and good behavior habits such as logical thinking, concentration, memory, cognitive and observation abilities, classified storage and sorting are cultivated.

On December 12, 2016, three products including Wonderful Discovery won the China Design Red Star Award. The Red Star Award is China's national award, the top honor in the field of design, and the "Oscar" for Chinese design. Xie Lei, vice president of hardware innovation and design of Grapevine Technology, was invited to receive the award, which explained the company's position in the field of domestic intelligent toy design.

[Traditional toys]

In order to activate the baby's creative thinking and bring the child a happy childhood, I believe that every parent has tried to buy a variety of toys. Such traditional toys as magic cube, drum and jigsaw puzzle are very suitable for cultivating children's hand eye coordination, figure cognition and three-dimensional thinking ability. However, traditional toys lack interaction and effective guidance, which requires parents' guidance at all times. If the method is slightly inappropriate, the baby will easily lose interest in playing.

The hardware part of the wonderful discovery consists of three parts: three kinds of toys (Bandari Drum, Star Rubik's Cube, Taotao Tangram), anti-skid bottom cushion and Discovery spacecraft (Discovery flat bracket, detector). In order to let you have a more comprehensive and detailed understanding of the wonderful discovery of this set of toys, the open box experience part introduces the design details of this seemingly simple toy through function introduction and comparison with traditional toys.

[Beautiful and practical]

First, we open the shell to see the whole picture of the whole set of toys. The packaging box of Wonderful Discovery is a toy storage box. Its design reminds me of the appearance of the National Grand Theater. Each toy is placed in a fixed position, which is very convenient for storage and sorting. All parts except the magic cube of the planet can be washed (the magic cube can be wiped), which is very beautiful and durable.

[Discovery Spaceship]

The Discovery consists of a flat bracket (Ipad base) and a detector, and its overall appearance is very similar to that of a spaceship. The base and detector can be magnetically adsorbed, so they are not easy to fall off when put together. The detector uses the refraction principle to adjust the angle of view of the iPad to the direction of the desktop, which looks like a purple grape. The bayonet width of the detector is slightly larger than that of the Ipad, and it is fixed above the Ipad camera through elastic protrusions.

[Material safety]

FDA certified food contact grade silica gel is provided by Dow Corning of the United States. It is made of the same material as a pacifier, safe, harmless, soft and comfortable, and protects baby's tender hands. It is amazing to find that high-grade materials will not be sucked into the mouth by the baby like paint falling off, and the anti slip particles on the surface feel very good.

[Tangram Comparison]

Tangram is a puzzle toy invented by Chinese people. Its origin can be traced back to more than 2000 years ago. Also known as "Tangram" and "Smartboard" evolved from the banquet table in the Tang Dynasty. It was originally an indoor game for scholars, and later evolved into a jigsaw puzzle toy in the folk. We put the traditional jigsaw puzzle together with the wonderful discovery, and then make a high judgment after comparison.

The most troublesome part of the traditional jigsaw puzzle is the storage. Children can't finish it independently when they play it well, and adults have to think for a long time before they can sort it out. Wonderful discovery: In the jigsaw puzzle storage box, we have carefully designed the placement texture for everyone. After playing, the baby can easily clean up, which helps to cultivate the child's good living habits. We use two pieces of jigsaw puzzle at the same time to see how little penguins judge.

[Bandari Drum Comparison]

Drum has a longer history than Tangram. It was originally used for war and sacrifice. It requires long-term practice and high talent to play alone as a musical instrument. As children's toys, small drums are usually abandoned after a few tricks. The reason is that they lack interest guidance. Wonderful discovery: The banderi drum used is different from the traditional drum. The Ipad end has music and picture guidance; The hollow part of the drum is used as a sound aid. It is judged by the explorer that the surface is blocked and the sound is generated by the Ipad, so as to prevent the baby from hitting the table hard and reduce the indoor noise.

[Comparison of Rubik's Cube]

Compared with the previous two toys, Rubik's Cube is very young. In 1974, Erno Rubik invented the first Rubik's Cube (called Magic Cube at that time). Rubik is a professor of architecture and sculpture in Hungary. In order to help students understand the composition and structure of spatial cubes, he made the first rudiment of the magic cube himself, inspired by the sand in the Danube. After a period of science popularization, we will continue to see what is different from the traditional Rubik's Cube.

First of all, the magic cube used for the wonderful discovery is called the planet magic cube. Its most obvious feature is that there is a logo at the center of the six sides, which is the key to distinguish the six sides of the magic cube on the iPad side (the specific play method will be introduced later). Secondly, the surface of the magic cube of the planet is made of frosted technology, which has good anti-skid effect and excellent hand feel.

The key difference is safety. The color blocks on the surface of an ordinary Rubik's Cube will wear off, and children with strong curiosity will easily swallow them by mistake; The planet cube has a solid structure and a smooth, safe and non-toxic material surface, which is suitable for babies to play.

[Anti slip lining color]

The cushion material is exquisite, soft and comfortable. Its function is not only to prevent slipping, but also to provide strong color contrast, better feedback game effect and attract children's attention. From the photo below, you can intuitively feel that the mat has a good anti slip effect. Even if the baby raises the mat, the jigsaw puzzle will not fall.

The crisp white of the bottom cushion also makes the color of each piece of Rubik's cube, drum and jigsaw puzzle more eye-catching, which effectively sets off the toys and makes it easy for the baby to distinguish and play.

[Applicable model]

The official design of Wonderful Discovery products is used with Ipad series products. The current models are: Ipad2、3、4； Ipad Air 1、2； Ipad pro； Ipad Mini 1、 2、3、4。 Supported software platforms: ios7/ios8/ios9。 One by one, I want to illustrate two problems. First, I found that only the high-end line is matched with Apple. Second, the current applicable models and software versions can climb over the wall. So far, you should understand my idea. In the eyes of old drivers, this toy is commonly used for Apple and Android devices, which can let you enjoy the fun of discovering this toy in different models (specific operations of climbing the wall will be posted separately).

[Three Games]

The wonderful discovery introduced in this issue includes three kinds of toys: jigsaw puzzle, banderi drum and star magic cube. The three matching applications are: Taotao Go Right, Rotate! Magic Cube and banderi's Magic Garden. Grape Discovery uses computer graphics and image recognition technology to perfectly combine real classic physical toys with virtual games. The three games above all rely on this principle. Let children exercise in play and fully stimulate potential cultivation: space intelligence, logic intelligence, music intelligence, body operation intelligence, observation, imagination, etc.

[Taotao walks right]

This game uses story based scenes. Through the visual recognition system, children complete the jigsaw puzzle and the little fox Taotao to take an adventure together. In the process of solving many difficulties, children will develop the quality of perseverance, and their concentration, imagination, creativity and spatial intelligence will also be improved. More than 780 kinds of new jigsaw puzzles are selected to expand children's imagination and practical ability. The plot mode has 103 graphics, and the challenge mode has up to 640 graphics. The game is divided into: color difficulty, light difficulty, dark difficulty, black difficulty. The most difficult black difficulty does not show the color of the tangram. It needs to be recognized as a whole. After all the figures are recognized successfully, the correct distribution of the tangram will be displayed. Different difficulties make the game durable, and the highest difficulty takes a long time to think. This game is very suitable for parent-child interaction. Parents and children meet various challenges together.

[Rubik's Cube for Rotating Bar]

Rubik's cube is one of the most classic educational toys. It can be used with both hands and brain, and it can change endlessly. It can exercise children's memory and ability to analyze and solve problems. However, most children cannot experience the charm of Rubik's cube because they cannot restore it. This toy uses computer vision technology to realize the accurate identification of all faces and colors of the solid cube toy, and generate the cube reduction steps in real time, so that children can learn to restore the cube without a teacher and experience the charm of the cube. Quickly restore within 30 steps, teach you to play Rubik's Cube hand by hand, and improve children's logical thinking ability. Align the corresponding color of the cube with the indication, and it needs to be scanned 6 times (as shown in the above figure). Do not rotate the cube during scanning.

[Fantastic Garden in Bandari]

Fantasy Garden has two modes of single person and interaction. The detector's recognition effect is very sensitive. When playing, just gently pat the drum face with your hand. The game selects 10 world famous songs, each of which has 3 difficulties to challenge. Through the innovative operation of online and offline combination, follow the lively story, tap the diversified music rhythm without borders, and train children's sense of music in interesting games.

[Planet, longitude and latitude]

"Children are the mysterious planet we want to explore; what parents need to master is longitude and latitude, and accurately locate children's interests and problems." - This is my understanding of Grapevine Planet and Grapevine Latitude launched by Grapevine Technology. Grapevine is the center of various game software such as Taotao Go Right, Bandari's Fantasy Garden, Swivel Bar Rubik's Cube, and the client for children to play on the iPad; Grapevine Latitude is a window for parents to regulate play time, observe and analyze children's performance, and understand children.

Tips: Grapevine Latitude can run a personal test directly on Android phones; In terms of Grapevine, if users without iPad want to experience this set of toys, they can use Android to climb over the wall or Apple phones to modify the suffix of iPad's App.

[Protect eyesight]

Grapevine Technology uses dual control of sight distance and time to protect children's vision: 1. Keep a healthy sight distance of 50cm. Let you no longer worry about myopia. 2. Effective time control. Reasonably arrange children's play time to help them develop better behavior habits. Grapevine Latitude APP can adjust the number of times and time length of each application in a day, or it can synchronize all applications with one key.

[Geek Play]

In order to protect children's eyesight, as a parent, I also racked my brains. From the moment I saw the current experience list of the geek testing community, I was thinking about what can be done to make children feel wonderful discoveries without harming their eyesight. At last, my eyes stayed on my old friend Jimi Z4 aurora.

The wireless same screen uses the ultra large polar meter screen to immerse in the real fantasy world. The wireless projection screen and the Android wall climbing introduced above are not new things. I am not a geek, nor even a test guest. But I think geeks are not a celebrity, but an attitude, full of curiosity and imagination about the world. Just like this wonderful discovery in my hand at the moment, although many players have tried it before, no one has ever tried to jump out of the fence to explore. Maybe this is worth thinking about. As shown in the figure below, it is difficult to adjust the front camera of some models. You can use a magazine to block the screen of the tablet or mobile phone, and only use the polar meter projection.

[Creative Thinking]

Toys are the key to inspire children's creativity and open the door to wisdom. Children's potential is limitless. When a toy is in hand, ordinary people look at the instructions and play with it. The child follows behind and imitates it, which completely fetters the mind. The original purpose of the wonderful discovery of this toy is to explore. Let's share a creative way of playing Bandari Drum. To review its working principle, the Bandari drum is recognized by the detector. As long as the color of the two drums is covered, the drum is knocked. What a pity that the child can't move with the music when he sits on the bench and beats the drum face with his hands! You can put it under your feet and use it as a dance blanket to step on the beat (this playing method works better with projection).

[Deep development]

The applicable age of a toy represents its potential for in-depth development of the game. Although Wonderful Discovery modestly marks the age range as 3-12 years old, each of its toys further refines the essence of tradition, giving traditional toys a new way to play. For example, when Taotao moves to the right, each level behind the teaching level has different solutions, just like the pirate king's voyage adventure, you can try different ideas to play again and again after clearance. The price performance ratio of the whole set of Grapevine Technology toys is very high. For example, Wonderful Discovery is not only three toys, but also has supporting software and the base of Discovery. There are many products matching Discovery. In addition to the above introduction, there are also: Ha Ni Hai (hands-on clay modeling application), Tu Tu World (children's painting application), Hello Programming (enlightenment of programming ability), Maxi (enlightenment of mathematics), Wonderful Circuit (enlightenment of physical science). Wonderful discovery is not the whole journey of Grape Discovery, but just the tip of the iceberg of your purchase experience as a consumer.

[Experience summary]

One of the words in the promotion of Grape Discovery impressed me deeply - "Let happiness go beyond the screen". Children's happy childhood requires hands-on experience, exploration and creation. Wonderful Discovery uses computer graphics and image recognition technology to combine the most essential part of traditional toys with image recognition technology. The materials used are safe and reliable, and the workmanship is exquisite. It won the Red Star Medal. The software design conforms to children's learning rules, and the design concept is advanced, which is also convenient for parents to observe and manage for a long time. It has achieved the mutual integration of care for children and modern technology, It is a good product worth recommending!

[Optimization suggestions]

1. Encourage children. Star Cube needs to story the game to improve children's interest in continuing to play.
2. Enrich the content. Make the game prompt information more humanized, and add voice prompt and animation prompt.
3. Expand compatibility. Improve product compatibility and attract more consumers to purchase.
