Toy Fair 2009: Swinxs Gaming Hub
Posted in: Tech Toys, Today's Chili, ToysSwinxs was one of the more interesting interactive gaming concepts that I saw on the floor of this year’s Toy Fair. The device is a little green plastic box that serves as a play hub for kids. It supports up to ten players at a time–though it also features a single-player mode. The kids wear elastic bands around their wrists with RFID chips that respond to the base.
Swinxs has ten games built in, including tag, musical chairs, and hide-and-seek. You can also download extra games, music, and quizzes from the Swinxs’ Web site, via the bult-in USB port, and Swinxs.com offers options for creating new games. At the moment, the company is still seeking a U.S. distributor.
Check out a video demonstration of the device, after the jump.
