Enkel styring for foreldre. Magi for barna. HiRO er en interaktiv lydplattform med historier, musikk, podkaster og eksklusive opplevelser laget for barn, men med kvalitet voksne også setter pris på. Appen lar foreldre koble HiRO-høyttaleren til internett slik at innhold kan lastes ned og enheten kan holdes oppdatert. Når innholdet er lastet ned, fungerer HiRO helt uten internett – overalt. HiRO bruker fysiske innholdskort som lar barna selv velge og styre sitt eget lydunivers – helt uten skjerm. For mer informasjon, besøk hiro.no
