OKC's newest (and youngest) toy-tech startup Wristworld is an augmented reality puzzle RPG using wristbands. Travel through four holographic lands, interact with characters to solve the mystery, show off your 3D character and carry a whole world...on your wrist! What better way to design a toy-line than let kids be the creators?
That’s the idea behind Wristworld, the first product of a new company called Real Tech. Real Tech is a spin-off of Loveworks Leadership (www.loveworksleadership.org), an organization teaching leadership and entrepreneurialism to middle school students. Michael Hirsch is the Loveworks Executive Director. Hirsch is passionate about seeing dreams come true in the hearts and lives of youth. Seven years ago he launched Loveworks with the focus to start an afterschool program for middle school students.
