The LeapMove is a gamified camera designed to get kids off the couch
The LeapMove is a new electronic learning system from LeapFrog that aims to get kids aged 4 to 7 off the couch and engaged in educational games. The device looks like an oversized webcam and connects to TVs like a gaming console. It uses motion detection and a camera to allow players to control the games with full-body movements, similar to the Xbox Kinect or PlayStation 2's EyeToy. The LeapMove comes with 25 motion-based games covering subjects like math, reading, and spelling, and additional games can be loaded through a desktop app. Priced at $69.99, the LeapMove is a more affordable alternative to the $249 Nex Playground. The device has no wireless connectivity, addressing privacy concerns, and tracks up to three players' progress locally.
