Background Research

As far as the baby button communicator is concerned, there is no such technology available in the market. From the research we did we were able to find some similar technologies that can only assist babies to identify objects.

Bilingual Talking Videophone

One of those learning toys is Chicco’s new Bilingual Talking Videophone. This is a device that assists babies to count numbers up to 9 in both English and Spanish and designed for children 18 months and up.

The way it works is the baby presses a button that has a number written on it and the device reads it out loud.

There are also some other similar products that help babies to learn the alphabet and they work in a similar way but with letters written on buttons instead.

Flash Cards Appearance

The second product we did research on was flash cards and whether or not a digital version of displaying flash card exist.

Little Touch™ LeapPad® Learning System

Again, we were unable to find a learning toy that does exactly that. There are however very similar products. The most common one being an interactive story telling.

A product like this is Little Touch™ LeapPad® Learning System and has the following features:

* Music & Soundscapes - Sparkling music and rhythms stimulate early brain development.

* Word Play - Short descriptive phrases introduce word-object associations and build early language skills.

* Laugh & Learn - Fun-filled rhymes and early learning interactions develop preschool readiness.
