Gauri Nanda, the designer, entrepreneur and MIT Media Lab Alum who unleashed Clocky, the alarm clock on wheels, is about to roll out a revolutionary concept in the world of toys called “Toymail.”
“Toymail is like voicemail or email but way more fun because your messages are sent to toys to speak back,” says Nanda. “First our team created the Mailmen™, the toys that deliver your Toymail. Then we developed an app where you connect to kids you know, record them a message, and send it right from your phone to their toys.”
The WIFI enabled Mailmen are a new breed of smart toys that connect wirelessly with your home WIFI network to receive messages sent anytime, from anywhere in the world.
Children can reply to their Toymail directly from the Mailmen and the Toymail app will store it so that it can be played back from a smartphone. So, this is not just any talking toy, but one that can handle a two-way conversation.
