As the world embraces contemporary toys, traditional playthings risk being overshadowed and forgotten by discerning young minds. However, many age-old toys embody the ingenuity of our ancestors and deserve to be preserved and passed down through generations.

Shadowgram, a fusion of "Shadowgraph" and "Tangram," is an innovative, interactive projector that brings ancient Tangram toys back to life using cutting-edge technology. Capable of recognizing over 1,600 patterns formed by Tangram, Shadowgram projects these characters as interactive characters onto a wall, offering children a captivating and immersive play experience. With its unique educational features, Shadowgram is not just a toy, but an educational tool for children to explore spatial reasoning, fractions, and other geometric concepts.

But Shadowgram isn't just about education - it's about reinventing the ancient toys and bringing them into the modern age. My vision is to spark a Renaissance around toys marrying the wisdom of antiquity with cutting-edge technology, ultimately preserving the educational value of traditional toys while enhancing their appeal to modern audiences.
