Osmo’s products are built around its proprietary \u201cReflective Artificial Intelligence,\u201d a system that uses a stand and a clip-on mirror to allow an iPad or iPhone’s front-facing camera to recognize and track objects in the physical play space in front of the device.[1]Time named Osmo one of the 25 Best Inventions of 2014[2] and in 2017, Fast Company named Osmo one of the top ten \u201cmost innovative companies\u201d in education.[3] Osmo games are available for sale online and in retail outlets such as Target and the Apple Store.

Tangrams are good for developing spatial awareness skills.[11]Newton[edit]Newton is a physics-based game where players direct small bouncing balls into targeted areas by drawing platforms and ramps, or even by placing physical objects in the playing space.[12] According to The Toy Insider, \u201cIt\u2019s kind of like a high-tech version of pinball \u2014 super fun!\u201d[13]Numbers[edit]Numbers is an ocean-themed math game, where players try to pop bubbles and free fish by getting an effective combination of number tiles on the table. GeekDad said, \u201cSeeing it in action feels almost magical\u2013you throw a bunch of tiles out there, and the app uses the camera to read them instantly, displaying them on the screen and adding them up (or multiplying, as the case may be).\u201d[14]Masterpiece[edit]Masterpiece uses computer vision to analyze any image and translate it into a traceable image. According to VentureBeat, \u201cIt\u2019s an app that enables kids and adults to become digital artists and regain confidence in their ability to draw.\u201d[15]Coding Awbie[edit]Players learn about coding by placing magnetically linking coding blocks in sequences to control a character (Awbie) on an adventure.
