Special Features:
- The Tag Reading System is built around a custom, mixed-signal ASIC designed by LeapFrog, that incorporates a 32-bit RISC processor, DSP driven stereo audio system with multi-channel MIDI hardware, specialised control logic and power management functions. The Tag stylus’ proprietary operating system allows this compact device to perform myriad specialised functions, including absolute position detection, game logic processing, event logging to monitor users’ progress within our content and high-quality, real-time audio decompression and playback.
- The Tag Reading System has 16 MB of on-board flash memory and a builtin USB port, which allows users to manage up to five books on the stylus at any one time.
- The Tag Reading System is the first Mac-compatible LeapFrog product. It is compatible with Mac OS X and Windows Vista/XP/2000.
- The Tag Reading System ‘reads’ by identifying dotted media at a rate of 50 frames-persecond, providing a response time less than 50 mS, and allowing drag rates of over 12 inches-per-second. A small, sophisticated infrared camera works as an imaging system to recognise letters, words and symbols when written on special dot-patterned paper.
- Using an optical pattern system and digital processing techniques licensed from Anoto, the Tag stylus can determine its precise location within the dot media. This enables a child to jump around within a book, or back and forth between different books in a seamless, unencumbered way.
- An expansive dot pattern is used to establish location context for the Tag stylus. By ‘reading’ these dots and processing them through proprietary algorithms, the Tag stylus can rapidly compute its exact coordinates. LeapFrog’s content creation system has previously mapped these coordinates to enable specific audio or functions.
