An app that will make parents Dungeon Masters of their child’s playground
Previous generations of parents viewed video games as time-wasters, but the medium has made recent inroads thanks largely to tablets and educational games like Metamorphabet and Minecraft. Video games have also inspired a generation to spend more time than ever on screens. A new app called Biba, from Vancouver incubator Zeroes 2 Heroes, hopes to find a healthy compromise that uses mobile gaming to motivate outdoor play.
“We’re basically trying to use mobile devices to get kids mobile again,” says Biba product designer Dr. Nis Bojin. The app looks like a parenting fantasy — an easy-to-use tool for getting children active and healthy. But can it keep children’s’ fickle interest?
