Recently, I have discovered some very interesting news that you might want to post about on your own blog, if you have on...
Just make sure to credit me... :P
On some sort of parenting website, someone made an article saying that coming this Fall, by using a special device in real life (for your health) you can transfer coins, and even EXCLUSIVE items to your account!
GeoPalz, an interactive gaming and rewards platform for kids and families, has partnered with Disney’s Club Penguin to develop of a wearable Club Penguin iBitz activity tracker.
Using the Club Penguin-branded iBitz pedometer, Club Penguin players
will be able to convert their athletic activity into virtual coins and
exclusive content within the Club Penguin world. The Club Penguin iBitz
activity tracker will be available for purchase in fall 2013.
“By connecting the GeoPalz Eco-System of activity driven games,
rewards and prizes with one of the largest communities for kids, we hope
to encourage millions more families to be active,” said Rich Schmelzer,
CEO of GeoPalz. “It has been inspiring to work with Nike and Disney the
past few months to bring together fitness activities that kids will
love.”
Vice President and General Manager of Disney Interactive Worlds,
Chris Heatherly, added, “By rewarding kids for being active in the real
world, we are encouraging a healthy balance between screen time and
active time. He continued, “When kids see their friends with exclusive
rewards they can only get for being active, we hope it will inspire them
to get active too.”
To develop this new product, GeoPalz has been a part of the Nike+
Accelerator Program for the past 90 days to develop broader techniques
to convert athletic activity into digital coins that unlock games,
content, and rewards.
