LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Techno Source, a division of LF Products (a Li & Fung company), maker of the best-selling, award-winning Kurio line of Android devices built for kids, introduced the first single-player body-controlled games on a tablet in 2014 with Kurio Motion games, available exclusively on the Kurio Xtreme tablet. Now at 2015 International CES®, the company introduces the next generation of tablet gaming with Kurio Motion 2.0 multi-player games.
"The number one thing kids love to do on their tablets is play games," said Eric Levin, spokesperson, Techno Source. "With Kurio Motion 2.0, we're taking a traditionally solitary, sedentary device and turning into a gaming portal that will get everyone up and active."
Kurio Motion 2.0 games allow children to compete against their friends and family, race against a virtual player or even play cooperatively. Each Kurio Motion 2.0 game has three unique levels to master that get kids jumping, running and moving their bodies as they dance, raft down rivers, race to make it to the end of a dirt trail on a mountain bike and more. An initial eight Kurio Motion 2.0 games will be available for download on Kurio devices this fall, and additional apps are in development.
Kurio Motion technology detects players' movements through the tablet's front-facing camera, allowing games to be played anytime, anywhere. No console, sensor, gaming controller or TV is required. Kurio Motion 2.0 games feature advanced movement recognition technology with even more sensitive motion detection functionality.
Kurio Xtreme, the 7-inch Wi-Fi enabled Android 4.4. Kurio tablet currently available, is preloaded with more than 10 single-player Kurio Motion sports, racing and learning games. The Xtreme is fully loaded with more than $300 worth of free premium content for out-of-the-box play. Thousands of more kid-safe apps can be accessed through the curated Kurio Store or parents can choose age-appropriate content from the millions of apps available through Google Play™.
Kurio kid devices feature the proprietary Kurio Genius Internet filter for safe web browsing and the most comprehensive parental controls. Additional Kurio Xtreme features include: 24/7 customer care (live chat right from the tablet and techs can even take over the tablet remotely); app management by category; advanced time controls; an Intel© Atom™ processor; Bluetooth technology and 16 GB of internal memory (expandable with Micro SD Card).
2015 CES attendees will be the first to play Kurio Motion 2.0 games on the Kurio Xtreme. Visit the Kurio booth in the Kids & Technology marketplace on the show floor at Tech West (Sands Expo, Level Two, Booth #74343) daily January 6 to 9, 2015 to get in on the action.
Eric Levin will also speak on behalf of Kurio and give the company's take on the kid tablet market at the Family Tech Summit produced by Living in Digital Times. The talk, which is part of a series of vignettes titled "The YouTube Generation" moderated by Yahoo! Tech columnist Dan Tynan, will take place on Wednesday, January 7 from 10:00 to 10:45 a.m. PT (Venetian, Level Two, Bellini 2006).
