Alongside Google, we developed unique ways for kids to interact with the Google Home Mini in verbal, nonverbal and physical ways. Our solutions will unlocked a more physical, enriching, and imaginative world of possibilities for kids.
The first to release was Read Along with Disney, a Google Assistant-based action that adds magic to story time with Google Home. In this groundbreaking audio experience, families can enjoy augmented reading adventures with the world's most beloved characters. Compatible with over a dozen Disney Little Golden Books, your adventure starts by simply saying, "Hey Google, read along with Disney."
As you read aloud, Google Home brings your narration to life, augmenting it with property-specific music and sound effects. As story time with children is often not linear, Read Along with Disney is designed to conform to your journey. Skip ahead, go back, repeat a page, or even take a break; your Google Home will automatically adjust to where you pick up and leave off, cueing background music while idle.
