Picoo is a handheld console designed for kids to use in outdoor games

The creators of Picoo showed off their new console at CES, a handheld outdoor gaming console for kids. According to its creators, the purpose of it is to marry children’s love for video games with other outdoor activities. Considering around 20% of American gamers are below the age of 18, it might spark the interest of gaming kids or their parents.

Picoo is a handheld device with a light on the end that looks a bit like a PlayStation Move controller. It works from a battery charge of four hours, and the starter set comes with four controllers and five game cards. In order to use it, kids will scan a card associated with a game on the device’s built-in NFT reader, and the Picoo will then recognize the children playing that game.
