About Baby Interact

Baby Interact is a new start-up company that specialises in the design of novel interactive devices for babies. The motivating philosophy behind Baby Interact stems from the observation that babies are happier, sleep better, and generally show fewer signs of frustration when they are given some level of control over their environment. Our products combine the use of embedded computing technologies, advanced methods in artificial intelligence and research into the behaviour and sleeping patterns of babies. We are currently in the process of seeking investment to bring our products to the market.

The company is operated by:
