Interactive, inflatable play system
20170225070 · 2017-08-10 ·

An interactive, inflatable play system is based on an inflatable structure. A plurality of interaction modules is attached to the inflatable structure. Each interaction module comprises a touch sensor and a light source. An external control module in wireless is in bidirectional communication with the interaction modules. The external control module may comprises a counter and a display and may increment the counter in response to a wireless signal from the interaction modules indicating being touched by a user and displays a counter value.
