The Intelino Play app extends the creative play possibilities with the smart train. From full-featured remote control drive modes, to custom command editor and interactive mixed-reality games – playing with the intelino smart train offers endless fun and excitement for kids and train fans of all ages! Here are some of the main features of the Intelino Play app: REMOTE-CONTROL DRIVE - AUTOPILOT MODE: combines remote control of the smart train with the color commands on the track. In Autopilot mode, you can use the app's drive dashboard to see the train's real-time speed, distance driven and notifications from the train. But at any moment, you can override the train's movement direction, speed and steering, change train's light colors, play sounds, or even remotely decouple the wagon. - MANUAL MODE: take full charge of the smart train with manual steering and speed control. Similarly to Autopilot, in this mode, you still have access to the drive dashboard and all of the control features of the train. But the color commands are ignored so that they do not interfere with your actions. In Manual mode you can also unleash intelino's racing spirit and zoom around the track with top speeds of up to 3.3 ft/sec (1 m/sec). - THEMES: switch between different themed sound and light effects to enhance your play experience. The THEME PICKER is accessible from the drive dashboard. You can choose between 'City Express', 'Police Transporter' or the customizable 'My Theme'. For the latter choice, the Theme Editor lets you change the sound and light effects for each of the 3 theme buttons. For sound effects, you can select from pre-loaded train and app sounds or even record your own app sounds. Sound effects can be set to loop and can be overlayed during play. The light effect colors are also customizable. COMMAND EDITOR Command editor lets you create custom commands and store them on the smart train. In addition to the 16 commands that work screen-free right out of the box, you can set 4 additional commands based on the special magenta colored snap. Just open the editor, select a color sequence and configure the action you'd like to associate with it. Then upload it to the train wirelessly and instantly. Similarly, you can use the editor for route planning. You can create a steering decision sequence of turning or driving straight and upload it to the train. Then every time when the smart train detects the magenta snap of a split track, it will use the next decision in your sequence. The sequence can contain up to 10 decisions and the train will continuously loop over it while it is driving. The smart train will remember your custom commands even after you disconnect it from the app and restart the train. And, as easily, you can override your stored commands with new actions whenever you like! MIXED-REALITY GAMES Welcome to the intelino world where you'll get to run routes to the target stations, deliver cargo and transport passengers in a busy city. Our games bridge the physical and digital play with the smart train to create a uniquely exciting gaming experience. To play our games, you'll get to choose from many track maps to play on. Then, build the physical track of your choice and let the app immerse you in the game. In Station Run, you'll get to drive the smart train to the target color stations on the track while avoiding others. Master your driving skills and keep your senses sharp to score 3 stars on each track and improve your best time! Cargo Express is all about delivering as many boxes as possible before the time runs out. Think fast and act quickly to send the train to the right stations and get the job done. In Busy City, you are responsible for getting passengers around town and managing the rush hour. Beware of the stations with highest passenger congestions as they can end the game. Be alert and strategize on the go to deliver as many passengers as you can and keep the game alive!
