25 Best Inventions of 2014 (Contd.)
You read about the first two inventions by Indians, mentioned in the Time Magazine’s list of 25 Best
Inventions. Here is the third one.
I am sure your Mom and Dad don’t like you to be glued to the iPad all day long. Like that, an
Indian engineer, Pramod Sharma did not like his daughter using the iPad for so long. So, he
developed 'Osmo', a tablet toy that gets physical and real. Unlike most apps, it comes in a box,
complete with physical letter tiles and primary-coloured shapes. The game is played on the table in
front of the iPad, which is placed in a special stand. There are three titles in the game, Words,
Tangram and Newton. Words displays a picture on the screen and a number of blanks to be
completed by placing letters in front of the iPad. Tangram creates a
physical, shape-matching challenge, while Newton uses pen and paper to
redirect falling beads to a target by drawing lines.
Other inventions mentioned in Time's "The 25 Best Inventions of 2014"
include the Apple Watch, 3-d printer and super bananas.
