my name is Tracy Howell and I'm from Overland Park Kansas my son Britain is six years old and has autism so I'm Eileen I'm Charlie's mom Charlie's a little boy with three years old he's severely autistic what's great about lekha is that my son immediately connected with this robot this this ball that was running around and coming back to him and responding to his call when I saw Charlie playing hide-and-seek with it I mean that's something that a neurotypical kid we just kind of do anyway but Charlie doesn't usually do that I've noticed my son had a very rough day at school today he had some some really challenging times but came home and took 30 minutes to spend with Lake and is a much more calm and relaxed child I didn't get shown hey there's your proof it's a pretty remarkable product and to have it in the home would be outstanding I haven't Addison s I know and together we want to help exceptional children live exceptional nights that's why we created this little guy look at meet lekha the first robotic interactive smart toy designed specifically for children with special needs children with autism live in a world where they are constantly overwhelmed with sensory stimulation it is often hard for them to connect to other people or focus on a single activity for a long time that's why parents and therapists often use reinforcers to teach the children for summit will be music for others colors and lights or just vibrations using these reinforces to teach rules and guidelines to the children is paramount as it helps them understand and interact with the world around them Leckie's unique strengths is in combining both the activity and the reinforcer within one toy like I can play music move around change colors and even has a screen to display images icons or emoticons this makes the child more motivated and engaged because their attention is focused on the toy and the task at hand not just the reinforcer lekha has been tested with more than a hundred children in France and in the u.s. it's been trialed at home with parents with therapists and specialized centers and hospitals and the results are quite simply amazing this could be a great great tool for therapists to connect with these kids keep them engaged which is the second very difficult thing to do and use it to connect and teach them we really think that we have something that will truly make an impact on the whole community working with exceptional children and that's the data that they get collects and passes back to our monitoring platform identifying what's the next step in therapy or what is something that maybe the child is mastered it would be remarkable to be able to share that data and also be able to share that with educators now we're actually getting into the field of technology and how it can work with individuals with autism how it can empower therapists to work with those individuals and ultimately I believe will help us from a research perspective nikka is not just a toy it's truly an education that ADA and we are working hard to bring you the best application like a will of numerous apps and activities available on the App Store right from the start and new apps will be developed and released continuously it's important to us that each child makes the most out of his amazing toy but it's really more than just a toy it's a companion an interactive robot and a wonderful educational tool it's lekha from the beginning of the project we go into schools special education schools and I was seeing kids playing with the robot we know it and I wanted to go further and make the project well I haven't seen it anywhere else besides you guys with lega there are some of course apps or games but nothing that is an emotion censored or nothing that is really interactive with the child and that respect I think that like is really coming upon something new and inspirational for children we really believe that we have to get this technology into the children's hands as quickly as possible and that's why we are here to ask you to give us a hand you can help us by spreading the word and if you are interacting with exceptional children all the people around you are you can order later now they came Swedish means to play into Hill and that's exactly what we are going to do with love from the lake a team you have unified management of much of our lives from email to calendar notifications and tasks reminders now mail beacon allows you to manage your physical mailbox with your smartphone to male beacon is the first device that notifies you about letters and parcels you'll receive notifications via the mobile app when items are added to your box and lets you know when you don't need to check the mail because it's empty or there's only junk mail in it an anti-theft feature secures your mail in the mailbox precise optical sensors in the mailbox measure mailbox content in recognized sender and content type regardless of the postbox type and a smart network enables notifications even if you are out of range thanks for supporting male became the most wanted beacon ever I'm Derek I'm passionate about Jones and I've meant managable wanna fly Jones but found them really hard to control I want to help because I feel that they are missing out to the fun of arrow filming that's why we came out with the idea of ghost this is a traditional remote controller it has many switches and knobs which can be very hard to master one bad news and a mistake can be very expensive most of the joints also require assembling but not everyone has a time or skills to do that Ghost comes preassembled and is ready to fly right out of the box our app makes it super easy to pilot simply tap unlock then take off and ghost will rise and hover now tap a spot on the map and ghost will fly there immediately to get it back just hit return and ghost will take the shortest route back to its takeoff point press land and ghost will descend and land gently for advanced control tap hover to make ghost hold the current spot and enter the micro control mode here you can adjust ghosts direction speed camera angles and more not only is ghosts user-friendly it's designed with quality parts and as great features and performance what's really cool about the ghost though is its customizability with respect to both hardware and software one project that I'm working on is mounting this RP lidar unit from Robo peak on the ghost row giving it the ability to sense its surroundings with the data from the lidar the ghost will be able to detect obstacles like trees and buildings and adjust its flight path is necessary I'm also really looking forward to developing the ghost SDK which includes libraries for both Java and c-sharp I also see some awesome integration possibilities with input devices like leap motion Myo and my own device attacked one of my passions is to travel and taking photos of the world around me I always have wanted to own an affordable drone that thing give me great images and videos from the sky the ghost with gimbal in combination with my GoPro works really well I have created amazing photos and videos that could not have made before as an amateur photographer and that's really great what's great about the ghost is that super easy to fly I'm excited to be one of the first users of the ghost what I like about ghost it's so easy to fly the control is really simple and I can do it all on my phone I don't have to worry anymore about the control and I can just focus on what I see the ghost team members come from both the US and China and have a very diverse background in how we're in soccer we want to make Jones accessible to everyone and help people create amazing aerial videos we have finalized the design and now we need your support to take those to mass production and bring the cost down tab now and let's make ghost the world's easiest to fly arrow filming drum available to everyone
