Hasbro’s Nano-Mals are a virtual pet that rewards fidgeting
Hasbro's Nano-Mals are a new virtual pet device that aims to provide a fidget toy experience. The Nano-Mals are small, cute animal-themed devices with no screen, but a light-up heart that changes color to indicate the pet's needs. Users interact with the Nano-Mals by performing physical actions like petting, feeding, and dancing, which fill up the heart. The device is designed to be operated with one hand and can be clipped onto clothing, making it portable. While the Nano-Mals have some drawbacks, such as the difficulty of muting the device and the inconvenient attachment clip, they are seen as a novel and engaging virtual pet experience, particularly for kids and adults who appreciate screen-free fidget toys.
