Our Company Our Vision - Bringing kids to play with electronics - Bringingadults to play with kids Our Products - GT-Command - GT-Position Technology aspects Future impacts: GT-Position with unique ID, automatictrackdrawing, automatic live position, unique automation, movetoys in collaboration, create games and rules, from any age?. If time – a video Agenda
Robots, cars, trains, helies and othermoveabletoyswillalways bethere. If wecouldintroduce a cheap , precise and highlyfrequenly updatedlocalposition, wecouldimprove the experience: Our Vision • Benefitting from – and building–playtogetherlocally and across. • Combinetoys and internet usingindoorpositioning. • Build the next WOW or Transport Tycoon with physicaltoys.
Commanding • We made – and is selling - GT-Command for model trains: • Monitor , Commander, Multiuser, Automations , (seq programming like Lego NXT) , Gaming, and Voice Control • Can beapplied /changed to other areas
Build GT-Position – precise indoor GPS - and introduced it in the Model train area. • Substitutes a great deal of traditional electronics and introduces: • Exact position • Atomatic track drawing, True speed • Driving with GPS Interactioncontrol • Signal control • Block control • Automatic trackselections • Parking, etc.. GT-Position
Precision about 10 mm indoor position system. Tracking up to 10 m distance. Scales with additional receivers, in triangulation, i.e. Cover 50x50 meter with 10 receivers. Tracking every 100 ms. Generating XYZ, signal level, distances, speed etc. GT-Position Concept
Multi units tracking, sequential, i.e. 10 units per second. Based on radio and ultrasound, a reverse GPS. Connected to a PC with appsrunning on the PC, mixingphysicalgeometry, physical positions with drawngeometries and 3rd party positions. Pricepoint in simple set-up below 400 €, with 50 € per extra sender and 75 € per extra receiver. Can bereduced with volume. GT-Position Concept(continued)

What is the impact on ”game” controllers?: - Wii, Kinetic, Model trains, Remote controllers, NXT’s, Phones, PC’s etc. Is Precision goodenough? Is Scalabilitygoodenough? Is Simplicitygoodenough? Is Price point goodenough? Is it compactenough for massive internet communication.? Whatimpact on areasoutside the toyindustry, Healthcare, Logistics, Home care, Home apps, ? Aspects
IT-University on: - Gaming platform - Open SDK Players (nonames) in the model trainindustry: 2-3 year vision on making the digital model railroadsimpler and cheaper. Combiningtrains, cars, accessories – and apply it on the net. Next generation studies for clients. Enabling developers to makeapps and collaboration. Projects And Co-operation
