center, and fun for the whole family.
Everyone knows that kids are naturally drawn to
tablets and phones, often spending hours staring at
small, bright, screens that are not healthy for their
young eyes and that unsupervised use of internet
devices can expose kids to harmful online material.
The team behind Egger team sought a way to de-
liver fun and educational digital media to kids in a
way that protects their eyes, engages their imagina-
tion, and contributes to their early cognitive develop-
ment.
Instead of adapting existing technologies, Eg-
ger started fresh with a soft, lightweight, cartoon
themed projector and remote control that is de-
signed especially for kids. It can be used anywhere in
the home and can beam entertainment and learning
onto any flat surface. It uses advanced sensors to
control the projection brightness and never exceeds
100 lumens to create the optimal, safe viewing ex-
perience. Additionally, it has a feature that turns off
the projector if a child is in front of the device, a nice
added safety measure.
With protecting children in mind, Egger also fea-
tures powerful parental controls so that kids see
only what their parents allow and are never exposed
to harmful content.
The Egger also becomes a platform for Molio’s
patented Augmented Reality interactive apps that
let children interact with what’s on the screen and
helps kids develop hand-eye coordination and cog-
nitive learning skills. The included apps use special
paper for drawing and coloring. When placed under
the Egger camera, the pictures come to life dancing
and moving on the projection for a truly interactive
feedback for kids.
The current version of Egger is far more than a sim-
ple projector, it has a powerful Android controlled
Quad-Core processor for compatibility with thou-
sands of apps, can play movies, music and multime-
dia for the whole family, and even make video calls
on the big screen. Addition content can be down-
loaded to the device via USB so users can add their
own content.
Egger is created by the Wuhan Molio Network Co.,
Ltd. which was founded in 2013. Molio is made up
of specialists for early childhood development as
well as top technologist specializing in the research
and operation of augmented reality interaction prod-
ucts for children.
