Elmo Calls
This abstract is about "Elmo Calls," an app that offers fun phone calls from Sesame Street's Elmo. The app aims to teach children about healthy habits, self-confidence, and letters. Users can receive video calls, audio calls, and voice messages from Elmo, or they can call Elmo themselves. The app also includes a feature that allows users to see live video of themselves in the corner of the screen while chatting with Elmo. Grown-ups can activate calls or schedule calls for various situations. The app encourages imaginative play, listening skills, and singing songs with Elmo. It also fosters self-confidence and celebrates important life moments like going to the doctor, using the potty, and learning the alphabet. Additional call packs are available for purchase, offering more themed calls. The app requires push notifications to receive scheduled calls from Elmo. The app is developed by Sesame Workshop and IDEO, a human-centered design and innovation firm. More information about their mission and expertise can be found on their respective websites. The app's privacy policy is available on Sesame Workshop's website, and users can contact the developers for support or inquiries.
