Cloudpets
Cloudpets allows exchanging voice messages between children, parents, and friends. The toy does not connect to the Internet directly, but connects to a companion app through Bluetooth. A parent uses the app to create parent and child accounts, and links the toy to the child’s account. The toy receives a link request, appearing as red heart pulses; pressing a button on the toy’s hand accepts the connection. Through the parent account, parents can accept or reject messages sent to or from the toy.
