Nex Playground Active Play System
$299.00
The Nex Playground costs $299.00. It plugs into a TV and tracks 18 points on a child's body through its camera, so games are played by moving instead of with a controller or a headset. Up to four play at once, it suits ages 5 and up, and it wants about 6 ft by 6 ft of clear floor. Video is processed on the device and never uploaded, it is kidSAFE+ COPPA certified, and the five games it ships with include Fruit Ninja and Whack-a-Mole Deluxe.

Before you buy
Where to buy Nex Playground
Nex sells Playground at nexplayground.com, and MetaOriental links there rather than shipping it. Nex Playground costs $299.00.
Who Nex Playground is for
Playground is aimed at families with children around 5 and up who want screen time that involves moving. The console tracks 18 body points through its built-in camera, so games are played with the body and no controller, headset or wearable sensor is needed. Up to four children can play at once depending on the game, and younger ones generally manage more of the library with an adult or older sibling joining in.
Is Nex Playground worth $299.00?
Playground costs less than a games console and does one thing that consoles do badly, which is get children off the sofa. Its library is smaller than a mainstream platform's, so the honest comparison is with an activity toy rather than with a Switch. Playground needs floor space in front of the television — a cramped living room limits which games actually work.
