Play Osmo

Play Osmo

Osmo is a brand of the US company Tangible Play. It was founded in 2013 by former Google developers and parents Pramod Sharma and Jérôme Scholler in Palo Alto, California. Using augmented reality and its own "reflective" artificial intelligence, Osmo combines haptic game elements with the virtual world. This creates educational game worlds that combine the best of digital play and physical interaction. Osmo's product range is aimed at children between the ages of 3 and 12. They are true "blended learning" apps that train a wide variety of skills from drawing to math, to programming, to spelling. These Osmo learning worlds are based on special hardware: a base for iPads or Amazon Fire tablets, a red reflector that directs the camera's view to the table, and game pieces.
