HOW IT WORKS

HEKXO employs Near Field Communication (NFC) identification technology to teach and entertain individuals. By attaching programmable electronic tags to real objects or flash cards, you can use HEKXO to identify objects.

HEKXO Mote

1) Equipped with NFC to enable reading and writing programmable NFC tags
2) Equipped with Bluetooth to enable communication between HEKXO Mote and mobile devices
3) Equipped with a display to present visuals and audio feedback such as object images and animations

Programmable tags

1) Passive electronic tags – Each has a unique ID and memory
2) Get energized right away with HEKXO Mote

MOBILE APPS

1) Passive electronic tags – Each has a unique ID and memory
2) Customize content, assign questions, set personal rewards and track progresses

WHY HEKXO?

Today, we rely so much on digital interaction. We spend most of our time working, playing and learning with mobile apps. The main goal of HEKXO is to bring today’s gamers and learners back from the virtual space to the real world. We know that being in the real world means being physical with objects, places and people – something that can’t be experienced on a screen alone. HEKXO provides exactly that. Put simply, we can now play and learn on mobile devices while interacting with our surroundings.

OUR STORY

The idea of HEKXO came to the mind of our chief software architect Nish Parikh, who, one day in January 2015, was up working late in the evening when he saw his 7-year-old nephew busy swiping his tablet, apparently oblivious to time and surroundings. It was a massive eureka moment for Nish as he realized that mobile technology is a double-edged sword capable of establishing both connection and disconnection with the real world. The disconnect was already in front of him to see; all he had to do was build that crucial connection. On the very next day he turned to his core team comprising an Embedded Hardware Engineer, a UI Designer and a group of Software Developers, who assured him of devising an innovative solution that would address his concerns for the next generation.

The next few weeks and months raced by as the team put their feet on the pedal to successfully build prototypes of a handheld device based on Arduino and mobile apps. This system is called HEKXO. Since then, it has become a routine for them to pull off all-nighters as they brainstorm, design, program and test HEKXO. Soon a Chinese manufacturer stepped in to assemble the first minimum viable product (MVP). With this MVP, team HEKXO has been reaching out to various schools and day care centers to collect user feedback. While all of this is happening, team HEKXO remains in constant touch with the software developers in India to make sure HEKXO Admin and other apps are delivered on schedule. With HEKXO, they hope to establish a real-world interaction to the disconnect brought on by mobile technology.
MUST-KNOW TRIVIA In the early phase of development, the HEKXO lab at our Somerset office used to be a geeky mess of solders, plastics, microchips, wires, pins, sockets and flash cards. But we soon found clarity in the clutter and were ready to start sharing HEKXO with the world.
