Details

1. Content. Content. Content.

LEVOOBA Kids is available in US, UK and Germany with now 6 different quizzes and over 1200 questions.

Quiz List Touch Support

We've added 2x more content than available before and also newly classified the content to be found more easily. LEVOOBA Kids now offers kids-friendly content created by professional educators in the following areas: Addition, Multiplication, Social Studies, Letters, Space and a special Christmas Quiz Edition.

We're also working with teachers and educators to further improve and add more content. (see 4. Future)

2. Improved APL support for multimodal Alexa display devices

2.1. Kid-friendly touch-enabled graphical menu to choose your quiz

Once the kids start training mode they can now not only choose a quiz via voice but are also presented a graphical kids-friendly menu on display devices like Echo Spot, Echo Show 5 and the all new Echo Show 10. There they easily and intuitively choose a quiz type via touch. This feature will soon also be available for multiplayer mode.

2.2. Visual responses during a quiz

During a quiz round in single- and multiplayer mode kids will now get acoustic, visual and motion-enabled feedback once they have answered a question. We are using APL Pagers to first show the either positive (for correct answer) or negative (for wrong answer) response using a kids-friendly emoji. Then we display the next question to be answered as a text. This is also timed with the acoustic response and positive/negative audio jingle response.

3. Added Motion-Capabilities

To welcome the kids to our skill we will play the LEVOOBA Kids jingle via APL-A. We also use APL-A when the kids exit the skill experience. During the start of our skill we've now added Motion-Capabilities and will start a timed PlayChoreo just after the jingle has ended.

We're also playing the Choreo when a kid is giving a wrong answer for adding motion to our acoustic and visual feedback, because the PlayChoreo feels like the Echo device was shaking like saying "no-no".

4. Future

4.1 More motion and display support

We plan to integrate motion sensing for some quick in-between games to prepare for a round to start (move left/right). We're also planning on integrating a new round based mode for two players on one moving Echo Show 10, where the screen moves between 0° and 180° so that the players on one device can play against each other with the screen moving between both. But as this command "move to position XY" is not possible yet, this will be implemented later on.

4.2 More Content

Here's the content we have planned for Q1/2021:

  • Cyberbullying
  • Healthy Diet
  • Subtraction
  • Division

Also we're working with a German Publisher to add an educator certified Math Multiply Trainer to LEVOOBA Kids.

4.3 Monetization

Once we have added more content and gained a user-base we will also include In-Skill-Purchases ISP to allow users to purchase more content packs to choose from.
