Technology has become an essential part of our daily lives, and as such, the need for kid-safe technology is higher than ever. myFirst has launched in Malaysia, offering the world’s first Kids Tech Collection for children, with its devices and the best alternative to social media for kids, myFirst Circle.
The myFirst Fone R1s, the brand’s smartwatch-shaped device, offers a gateway for children to stay connected within a safe ecosystem with full parental controls. The all-in-one watchphone combines voice and video calling, messaging, a music player, camera, clock, GPS and fitness tracker, and is equipped with heart rate monitoring.
G-Jay Yong and his daughter, RuFaye Yong, who is the youngest product manager at just eight years old, designed the R1s. The company recognised the need for kids to engage with technology to assist in their socio-emotional development, all while ensuring secure connectivity with their loved ones.
“myFirst was created with the idea to be the first safe tech experience for a child, in order to enrich a child’s developmental process with learning experiences through fun and innovative gadgets.
“We wanted to rethink the way kids learn and play, in hopes of creating a community where children can grow up with technology introduced safely in their lives prior to facing the challenges of the adult tech world.
“To amplify this safe experience for children, we have designed a safe social circle app for myFirst device users called the myFirst Circle,” said G-Jay Yong, myFirst Founder.
The myFirst Circle application is dubbed the “World’s first kids social circle.” It binds the parents’ phone app to the kid’s R1s smartwatch and offers an enjoyable user experience. The social circle app is the world’s first safe call, messaging, location, and social sharing ecosystem for kids to use with their family, besties, and friends.
To ensure the safety of children who use this connectivity feature, no strangers can access the children through this app, and advertisements are not present.
In addition to the R1s smartwatch, myFirst has invented other products, including bone-conduction headphones dubbed myFirst Headphones BC, Wireless, or Lite. The bone conduction technology allows children to listen to music without blocking their ear canals and stay alert to their surroundings.
myFirst offers a range of products that let children tap into their visual and artistic skills. Those interested in art can draw with myFirst Sketch, a digital sketchbook that lets them save their drawings for future viewing. The myFirst 3dPen allows children to bring their pictures to life through 3d modelling, while those interested in capturing memories and perspectives can try the myFirst Camera.
As technological advancements become more prevalent and accelerated by the day, it is vital for children to be exposed to technology to stay caught up on cognitive learning ability. myFirst offers a variety of options through its products so that children can simultaneously play and learn with safety and accessibility.
The brand has opened its Malaysia Official Store at my.myfirst.tech, and parents can also choose to purchase its products at selected retail outlets. To learn more about the brand and its product range, check out www.myfirst.tech.
