Tech Deck Fingerboards to Get Virtual Skate Park
Spin Master Studios, a subsidiary of toymaker Spin Master, is readying a virtual world based on the company's Tech Deck finger-size skateboards. Tech Deck Live, set to go live this summer, will allow users to customize skaters, explore skate parks and interactive environments, socialize, and compete. It looks like the ultimate goal is to join a "pro skate team," but along the way users can also trade items and play games along the way. Interestingly, the free-to-play, Web-based world doesn't have any tie-ins to the physical toys, at least that have been announced. Instead, monthly subscriptions will allow users access to premium content, like customizable rooms. Judging from the success MTV had in bringing in new demographics with just one virtual skate park, there's certainly potential here. "We are excited about combining the authenticity and fun of Tech Deck with the immersiveness of virtual worlds, providing a truly unique online experience for kids," said John Reale, Vice President of Spin Master Studios.
If I was a dentist or plastic surgeon I'd be worried.
