Swinxs: a toy for active play
“The Swinxs is a unique games system which encourages children to move and run while they’re having fun. Designed for active indoor and outdoor play the Swinxs consists of a games console and four colored wristbands. The lime green, clover-shaped console is just like a talking computer; it communicates, cheers players on, explains games, referees and keeps game scores. It has an RFIDRadio-frequency identification 
reader, long-lasting battery and is light and durable enough to take outdoors to the beach or the park. The funky RFID wristbands (X-S tags) are worn by each player and allow individuals to interact with the console. The X-S tag is embedded with a microchip which enables individuals to start a game, check their performance and store their personal profile.”
