Operating Instructions
Once set up, the hum kids app guides your child through an interactive brushing experience:
- Interactive Games: The app uses augmented reality to project "sugar bugs" or "monsters" onto your child's teeth on the screen. Your child's brushing movements are tracked, and they "defeat" these characters by brushing correctly.
- Guided Brushing: The app provides real-time guidance on where and how to brush, ensuring all areas of the mouth are covered for the recommended duration.
- Rewards and Progress: Good brushing habits are rewarded with in-app achievements, unlocking new levels, characters, and game experiences.
- Parental Tracking: Parents can access a dedicated section within the app to track their child's brushing progress, including coverage and duration, and identify any missed spots or sessions.
