Use hands-on physical blocks, coding commands, to control the character Awbie also called Coding Awbie. You will have a good introduction to coding, which will be like a fun-filled adventure.

“It’s never been more important to provide new ways for our kids to play and learn with their hands. As a father myself, I know how crucial it is to a child’s development,” stated Pramod Sharma, Osmo’s CEO and co-founder. “We founded this company to provide an alternative to the false dichotomy of tech and traditional play. We’re proud to bring families and teachers the tools they need to encourage fun play that will nourish their kids’ bodies and minds.”

Pediatric research shows that screen time alone does not give kids the tools for success, with more and more students showing weakening motor skills, and the inability to hold a pencil properly. Without losing the crucial hands-on play kids need for proper development, Osmo has leveraged its proprietary Reflective AI technology, these experiences give kids greater access to explore creativity, entrepreneurial and STEM, more alongside traditional experiences like spelling, math and physics. 

What’s in the box

Osmo Base and Reflector for iPad, 31 tangible coding blocks including; Walk, Jump, Hand, Magic, Rest, Quantifiers (Numbers), Repeat, Subroutines, Stackable storage for game pieces, 3 Game Apps: Coding Awbie, Coding Jam and Coding Duo.

What is Osmo?

Osmo’s proprietary ‘Reflective AI’ technology allows an iPad, iPhone or Amazon Fire camera to “see” physical objects in front of it. This first-of-its-kind technology gives kids a blank canvas to express themselves and learn through hands-on play. The company’s physical-to-digital experiences, approach to thoughtful design and the elegant, age-appropriate use of technology has elevated Osmo’s brand to Apple-like status with a faithful following among teachers and parents.

Osmo was founded by parents and former Google engineers to create fun and nutritious play experiences designed specifically to bring more hands-on play opportunities for both boys and girls. The company’s unique approach has garnered attention from toy and education behemoths such as Mattel, Sesame Ventures and Houghton Mifflin through strategic investments to invigorate iconic products for today’s family and classroom.

Osmo has received several awards: Best AI-based Solution for Education Award for its proprietary Reflective AI technology. Named as one of Time Magazine’s “25 Best Inventions” to mention a few. 

The Coding Starter Kit will be available for the price of 999.00 DKK.

AtGames®Announces Open & Connected Pinball to Support Visual Pinball X & Future Pinball Community Created Tables

November 30, 2020• Videogames

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (November 30, 2020) – AtGames® (https://www.atgames.net/), a leader in interactive entertainment products, today announced expanding its successful initiative working with Visual Pinball X (VPX) and Future Pinball (FP) community members on supporting both their development efforts and work on the Legends Arcade Platform, including Legends Pinball. VPX and FP are freeware and source available video game engines for pinball tables for creating and preserving pinball through software simulation. The growing number of Legends Arcade Family products (https://www.atgames.net/arcades) running on the shared Legends Arcade Platform support arcade, console, and virtual pinball play and include the Legends Ultimate, Legends Gamer series, Legends Connect, Legends Core, and Legends Pinball. Legends Pinball is the home market’s most feature-rich virtual pinball platform at an affordable price.

AtGames successfully completed the pilot project collaborating with well-known VPX community members like ScottyWic, resulting in releasing his popular The Leprechaun King table for the Legends Arcade Platform. ScottyWic and the OrbitalPin Collective have recently confirmed the completion of the upcoming AtGames-sponsored original table, Pizza Time, which will be released for free to both VPX players and owners of Legends Arcade Family products.

In addition to supporting pinball table development, AtGames is also expanding its OCP (Open & Connected Pinball) initiative reaching out to VPX and FP community members to take advantage of the special features found in the upcoming Legends Pinball machine. Legends Pinball sports a large 32 inch 1080p LCD playfield, 15.6 inch 1080p LCD backglass, 8-bit precision Hall-Effect plunger, arcade-quality flippers and nudge buttons, accelerometers, tactile feedback, extensive connectivity and accessories options, Internet connectivity and downloadable apps, global leaderboards, lobby for Party Play and Team Play, and more. OCP will provide ready-to-use software drivers and interfaces and references for additional off-theshelf hardware. An open engineering guide will help empower VPX/FP users to leverage their PCs for easy plug and play connectivity with their Legends Pinball for dedicated use of its native machines. The OCP outreach will be in multiple stages. AtGames invites community members to join in the process by adding in even more advanced features.

Given the impressively low $599 MSRP of the Legends Pinball, even with the addition of any needed interfaces or boards that are typically needed to fully realize the potential of their projects, estimated savings for VPX/FP community members are at least $300 – $500 versus alternative options. Additional savings will also be realized in time, with AtGames – as with their related efforts in this area – making every effort to make “modding” as straightforward as possible on their platforms.

AtGames is continuing to work closely with key members of the VPX and FP communities and promises more program details in the future. These program details will include all resulting documentation and processes, which will be shared with the VPX and FP communities. Anyone interested in helping with or participating in the AtGames OCP initiative are encouraged to contact the company via its addonxdev@atgames.net third party developer email address.

Zaccaria Pinball Tables Coming to AtGames’ Pinball Entertainment Ecosystem of the Legends Arcade Family products. More than 100 tables will be ported to play natively.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (November 23, 2020) – AtGames®, a leader in interactive entertainment products, and Magic Pixel Kft., a leading developer and publisher of video games, today announced a partnership to bring its line-up of Zaccaria Pinball tables to the Legends Arcade Family of products. These products, which include the full-size Legends Ultimate home arcade, Legends Gamer series, Legends Pinball, and Legends Core, among others, run on the Legends Arcade Platform, which allows for a range of impressive connected features, including ArcadeNet®, BYOG™, and universal global leaderboards. More information can be found at https://arcades.atgames.net/.

Zaccaria Pinball, which presently has a Very Positive rating on Steam, includes a large collection of licensed tables. This collection includes solid state, electro-mechanical, retro,

remake and award tables across a variety of genres and playfield styles. These exacting pinball recreations will duplicate their impressive features, visuals, sounds and physics on the Legends Arcade Family products.

Thanks to the flexibility of the Legends Arcade Family products, each of these pinball tables can be played with authentic arcade controls on low latency and vertical displays. For even more authenticity, these games will also be playable on Legends Pinball, The World’s First Connected Pinball™, which features a 32-inch high-definition LCD playfield, a 15.6 inch LCD backglass, real spring-loaded precision plunger, tactile feedback, and accelerometers to create the most impressive virtual pinball experience on the market.

These Zaccaria Pinball tables will also be integrated into the exclusive AtGames Leagues Leaderboards (ALL) feature, which lets players on the Legends Arcade Platform compete on

universal global leaderboards. The Zaccaria Pinball tables will join the growing list of arcade games, console games and virtual pinball tables that already support this market-leading

feature.

Like the 22 Gottlieb tables that run at 1080p/60fps on the Legends Pinball, and a minimum of 720p/30fps on every other Legends Arcade Family device, the large collection of Zaccaria

tables will be ported to run directly on the hardware. This porting process and use of native hardware capabilities ensures maximum performance.

General availability of the Zaccaria Pinball tables on the Legends Arcade Platform will be announced at a later date.
