## Blox Talk

Many hospitalized children are unable to physically play with other children because of their illnesses. They lack social interactions and play time. It can be difficult for parents, siblings, and friends to visit patients because of exposure and travel distance.

Blox Talk is a game device that allows people to come together socially, but not physically. Blox Talk uses modular blocks that are placed on an interactive board, and then digitalizes the form on the screen. From there children can play with the blocks on the screen and talk to others.Children can play various games with others such as cooperatively working together to build a city or simple puzzle games. Let’s bring more play time in patients’ rooms!
