there is a fine line to play with when releasing digital toys as you don't want to lose the physical aspect Osmo has been merging digital with physical for around two years but the next edition is monster which combines drawing and a digital character all-in-one this is one toy that I wish I had growing up to save the LEAs monster by Osmo is available as an application for iPads and works with the Osmo base and mirror essentially these act as a dock for the iPad and the mirror clips over the camera allowing it to look at the whiteboard in the box you'll get a few chalk markers a whiteboard a carrying case and an eraser cloth a good thing to note is that these tools will also work with Osmos previous release Newton and masterpiece applications which prior to this you just used a pen and paper for mo the monster is the star of the show along with whoever is playing the game upon starting the game MO will greet you and will have some questions or requests for you like to draw a favorite fruit or even a friend the camera will pick up what is on the whiteboard although the quality of the skin definitely depends on the lighting in this way your drawing will then appear with mo as he does some magic with it to ensure a few hours of gameplay each show will have different questions being asked monster a retail for $49 and is a great addition to the Osmo liner with that being said the cost of entry gets a bit higher as a starter creative kit which includes the base mirror plus $79 by itself you can expect future updates with more content and no additional cost in the future as well as a creative starter kit for $79 later this summer you
