The ‘game pad’ is a tactile interactive toy that aims to promote education and development through the act of play. User centred interface and wireless connectivity creates a physically active and socially inclusive learning environment.
The project is based upon ‘Learning by interactive play’. This is the development of design intervention for better education while integrating enjoyment and recreation. Advances in technology have created opportunities in the market for the development of interfaces that integrate core-learning components with human computer interaction. Commonly we are seeing toys that simply foster distraction without incorporating these components, of experienced based learning:
• social interaction
• physical participation
• parent involvement
