Son-X gives kids audio encouragement to get into the swing of things
« Back to Article
The attachment is made with a hard plastic casing and powered by small solar panels on the top that work even on cloudy days
The solar-powered Son-X Octavia attaches to any swing and gives audio cues to encourage kids to go higher
When attached to any swing, the Son-X will play different sound bites depending on how high or long a child swings, encouraging them to go higher
A speaker built into the attachment points downward to play either sounds of applause, a dance beat, or an orchestra as a child swings
With the solar cells and battery buffer, the Son-X can be used without interruption for up to four hours
Article Summary
It's hard to believe how many classic children's toys are getting modern makeovers these days - from the Etch A Sketch to toy helicopters to footballs - and now it looks like even the playground swing set is getting a slight upgrade with the Son-X Octavia. When attached to any swing, the Son-X will play different sound bites depending on how high or long a child swings, encouraging them to go higher.
