Cubilog consists of two core products, on the one hand an app that contains interactive eBooks and on the other hand the Sense-Cube, which has various sensors.
The cubilog app gives children access to our interactive eBooks. The interactive eBooks introduce children to various topics. The stories read aloud by the narrative voice are adapted to the age of the children and arouse their interest in different areas of knowledge. Within the stories, the children learn lots of new things and are encouraged to solve tasks with the Sense-Cube.
The Sense-Cube is the central element that allows interaction and a haptic experience to take place. With the help of the Sense-Cube, children are able to experience a wide variety of tasks in the interactive eBooks. This creates a new kind of interactivity. The Sense-Cube is connected to the smart device via Bluetooth and has various sensors, such as a rotary knob, a microphone and a motion sensor. In the interactive eBooks, children are asked to activate the respective sensors on the Sense-Cube to solve a wide variety of tasks. Depending on how they are used, each sensor promotes different skills and competencies in children.
The rotary knob plays a special role at cubilog. Due to its versatile uses, the rotary knob can also be found in the cubilog logo. With the rotary knob it is possible to control the app menu and select eBooks. Of course, the knob is used again and again in the eBooks themselves. For example, the children can turn the knob to make a confetti cannon burst in a story.
The microphone is another sensor of the cube. The children can blow into this to inflate a balloon in a story. The different blowing tasks are not only a lot of fun for the children, but also promote oral motor skills. This means that the tongue and mouth muscles are strengthened. The children also learn to regulate their airflow.
The motion sensor, as the name suggests, ensures movement in the eBooks. One task in which the motion sensor is used is shaking the cube. For example, in a story the leaves fall down from the tree. The various small movement tasks train the children's fine and gross motor skills, dexterity and eye-hand coordination.
