Osmo Is an Amazing New iPad Tool For Real Life Object Manipulation

May 26, 1 Comment

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

I just heard about this new iPad tool that looks like it will be amazing for therapy.  It is not yet available, but you can pre-order it for 50% off, and I heard that the pre-order price is available until June 22.  It is called Osmo (referral link).  Osmo is a tool that attaches to the ipad so that the objects that you play with in front of the ipad are recognized and the ipad can react to what you physically do.  I have no connection with this company, and just post about it because it looks really cool.  I have not tried it out as it is not available yet, but I did pre-order on for myself.

The Osmo comes with three games, tangram, words, and newton, and includes wooden tangram pieces and letter tiles.

From their site:

Tangram

Arrange tangible puzzle pieces into matching on‑screen shapes. Play with a friend or challenge yourself to more advanced levels as your handy‑work lights up with each victory.

Osmo tangram

Newton

Use your creative noggin and inventive objects like a hand‑drawn basket, grandma’s glasses, dad’s keys, or anything around you to guide falling on‑screen balls into targeted zones.

Words

Be the first to guess and spell out the on‑screen hidden word by tossing down real‑life letters faster than your friends. A related picture gives the clue.

    That is incredible! Thank you so much for the video and pictures. They really help to illustrate the concept and how the technology work. It’s so interesting that they just attach a mirror to the camera.
