VINCI 7" Touch Screen Mobile Learning Tool

Invented by a mom, VINCI is a new category of early learning systems exclusively designed for children ages 4 and under.

VINCI sets a new standard for learning by converging developmental science, cutting edge technology and early childhood education to offer a safe, fun and inspirational learning experience.

Key Features

Developmental Science
VINCI Tab, VINCI's first early learning system, comes complete with part of the VINCI Early Learning Curriculum.

The games, story books and music videos are specifically designed for fun, parent-guided and interactive education which is mapped to be inter-connected and designed to provide levels of learning according to each child's age and capability.

Age Norms are scientifically proven milestones that cover developmental stages including motor and social/emotional skills as well as language and cognitive abilities.

Cutting Edge Technology
VINCI Tab features a 7-inch touchscreen and Android OS based on the most advanced Cortex A8 microprocessor. For the first time, young children are offered a true technological device equally advanced as their parents tablets. VINCI offers young children the best of the world, because our future relies on children.

Early Education
VINCI taps into the early childhood education, focusing on nurturing Curiosity, Critical thinking, Capability to observe and discover, Control and discipline, Confidence and Communication, with the goal to build our children's character and foster a winning attitude. VINCI embraces exploration based, child led and parent guided playful learning where children have fun, and are in control. VINCI apps encourage parent-child joint attention with fun for both parents and children.

Safety
Unlike other tablets and devices on the market, VINCI Tab has no WIFI functions or wireless technology, which minimizes emissions and protects children from unwanted content on the Internet. Parents have full control over what their children play. VINCI Tab uses exclusively non toxic, medical and food grade materials for the handle and housing.



Games
Through a series of 3D animated games, VINCI challenges conventional thinking about early childhood education by promoting 'active learning' over 'passive watching.' VINCI Games are mapped to developmental milestones based on Age Norms, in a real world context, designed to help parents and children explore, play, have fun, and learn together.
Music Videos
Music is a great way to introduce your child to the real world and is proven to develop a wide variety of motor and cognitive skills. Sing-n-Dance album including 12 songs is for fun sing alone and dance together, with Baby Haha's simple gestures for your little one to imitate and for you to enjoy. Lullabies including 8 soothing songs help you to quiet your child down before nap or bed time.
Storybooks
VINCI Story books re-tell children's classics using an engaging learning approach. Children are able to touch objects on the screen and experience the delight of immediate interactive feedback. The stories are told using simple language allowing your child to learn language and to understand the ideas behind the stories.
Camera
With VINCI Tab's 3 megapixel built-in camera, parents can easily capture every step of their child's unique progress. VINCI Diary reminds parents about what they can expect in terms of developmental milestones at each specific age of their child, and link pictures and videos to create the child's very own story book.

    1.0 out of 5 stars This device never works, September 23, 2011
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: VINCI 7-Inch Touchscreen Mobile Learning Tablet (4GB) (Personal Computers)
    This is such a rip off. It never charges. Battery dies right away. It never works. Dies right in the middle of a song and the screen will go dead and music is still playing. I order one had to send it back. Ordered another one and did the same thing. I cannot believe they come up with something like this for $400. Next time make sure it works properly. This is so not worth it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Belly laughs and Educational, September 3, 2011
    This review is from: VINCI 7-Inch Touchscreen Mobile Learning Tablet (4GB) (Personal Computers)
    My daughter and I have been playing with the Vinci. I found the game to be very educational, and great for her self esteem. My daughter had started with another tablet device, and would be easily frustrated because she couldnt complete tasks by herself. This was not a problem with the Vinci. The games are exactly the right pace for my four year old. She will often have a big belly laugh at something in the games. She can play by herself, but I find if I am with her I get tons of "why questions" , and I can assist in her learning. If I compare to the device to others I would say its graphics are more appropriate for a four year old, it's easier to use, and much more educational because its so much fun. On the down side, there needs to be more games (would like to see the World game finished), lower price, and a way to include some learning about world languages when visiting countries. I gave it a four overall because of the enjoyment my daughter has when she plays and for its... Read more

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great Tablet for my Autistic son, October 22, 2011
    This review is from: VINCI 7-Inch Touchscreen Mobile Learning Tablet (4GB) (Personal Computers)
    I bought this tablet for my 16 year old autistic son. He still enjoys kindergarten or so level games, but has never really gotten into video games. He's at a much younger functional age, maybe 4 to 6 depending on category. I wanted something he could play videos and look at pictures on, and hopefully something that would have some games that would capture his interest. That has been hard to find. The developers of the software for this tablet have really done a great job on the games, storybooks and videos that come pre-loaded on this tablet. Not a lot catches my son's interest but the baby character seems to intrigue him, the soothing lullabies entertain him and help him wind down for bed. There are only a few stories but he does like them. This is apparently a very new product so I'm sure it will only get better. I had a few issues getting the PC software to recognize the device, but the support team went way above and beyond to help me get it going so I couldn't be happier... Read more
