The recording toy car

When children play with toy cars they tell stories, adding their own narration, voice-overs, and special effects.

The HotCam is a manual control toy car with an onboard video camera and microphone. The car enables children to record certain “scenes” in their own stories. They can then “play” the captured scenes through a TV, re-experience their stories and share them with parents, siblings and friends in a similar way to something as traditional and tangible as a painted picture or clay model.

When the push button on top of the car is ON the headlights and rear lights come on and the car is recording. When the button is OFF the lights go off and the camera is not recording.
