Products
Cubilog consists of two core products: the Cubilog app, which contains the various eBooks, and the Sense-Cube, which features four different sensors.
Cubilog App
The Cubilog app gives children access to our interactive eBooks. In these eBooks, various topics are introduced to the children. The stories, read aloud by a narrator, are adapted to the children's age and spark interest in different fields of knowledge. Within the stories, children learn many new things and are prompted to solve tasks using the Sense-Cube.
Sense-Cube
The Sense-Cube is the central element for interaction and a haptic experience. With the help of the Sense-Cube, children can experience a wide variety of tasks in the interactive eBooks. This creates a new kind of interactivity. The Sense-Cube connects to a smart device (e.g., tablet, iPad, smartphone, smartboard) via Bluetooth and has four sensors – a rotary knob, a microphone, a motion sensor, and buttons. In the interactive eBooks, children are prompted to use the respective sensors of the Sense-Cube to solve various tasks. Each sensor, depending on its use, promotes a wide range of skills and competencies in children.
Rotary Knob
The rotary knob plays a special role at Cubilog. Due to its versatile applications, the rotary knob is also featured in the Cubilog logo. It can be used to navigate the app menu and select eBooks. Of course, the rotary knob is also used repeatedly within the eBooks themselves. For example, children can turn the knob to make a confetti cannon pop in a story. The rotary knob aims to promote fine motor skills, visual-motor skills, and concentration.
Microphone
The microphone is another sensor on the Sense-Cube. Children can blow into it to inflate a balloon in a story. The various blowing tasks are not only fun for the children but also simultaneously promote oral motor skills. This means that the tongue and mouth muscles are strengthened. Additionally, children learn to regulate their airflow. Well-developed oral motor skills are also important for children's language development.
Motion Sensor
The motion sensor, as the name suggests, brings movement into the eBooks. One task that uses the motion sensor is shaking the Sense-Cube. This might, for example, cause leaves to fall from a tree in a story. The various small movement tasks train children's fine and gross motor skills, dexterity, and hand-eye coordination.
Buttons
The buttons are all about navigation and understanding spatial directions. Through varied tasks, children learn to distinguish between up, down, left, and right and to solve problems through correct navigation. For instance, they might solve a maze to help a bee find its way back to the hive. This playfully trains spatial awareness, visual-motor skills, and logical thinking.
