HealthyCube
A smart interactive cube designed to engage children in a playful learning experience about food recognition. The cube offers audio and visual clues, prompting the child to guess a specific food item. Clues may describe characteristics such as color, shape, and typical culinary uses. After listening to the clues, the child interacts with an OLED display that shows multiple food icons. Using a rotary knob, the child selects the icon corresponding to their guess, fostering cognitive skills like pattern recognition and decision-making in an entertaining and educational environment.
The interactive cube is an innovative educational device designed to engage children in a fun, multisensory learning experience while promoting healthy eating habits. By combining auditory and visual storytelling with hands-on interaction, the cube helps children learn to recognize and appreciate different types of foods, fostering cognitive skills such as pattern recognition, logical reasoning, and decision-making.
The gameplay is simple yet stimulating: the cube provides a series of audio clues describing a specific food, highlighting characteristics such as color, shape, or typical culinary uses (e.g., "it is used to make a pizza" or "it’s yellow and round"). After listening to the clues, the child looks at an OLED screen displaying a selection of food icons.
Using a rotary knob, the child selects the icon that they believe matches the given clues. Correct answers are rewarded with positive visual and audio feedback, reinforcing learning and encouraging further engagement.
