The worst headache and apprehension of parents and society is caused by excessive virtualization of games and all the occupations of today’s kids and teens. That leads to loss of reality… We at Toytemic believe games should be brought back from behind the screen into here: the real world of tangible things. Toytemic’s project “Strategy on Carpet” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPwQIjAsTPI has won first prize at Skolkovo Innovation Award competition supported by Cisco I-PRIZE. “Strategy on Carpet” technology transfers computer game fantasy into reality. Real toys are being turned into game units, and played and controlled in the same manner as units in computer games.
