    Episode 41: Yoav Oren, Co-Founder & CEO at Zoog

    In this episode, we sat down with Yoav Oren, Co-Founder & CEO at Zoog. Zoog is leveraging Augmented Reality to bring families closer together through storytelling and other fun, educational, and engaging content and activities that children absolutely love and enjoy. Zoog taps into both through books and video. Adapting classics to the medium of video communication, where grandparents can read to their grandkids and the kids can engage with the story and their relatives. Books are the gateway between generations, and by offering a unique book reading experience, ZOOG brings generations closer to each other. ZOOG allows older adults to tap into their creative energies and encourages kids to read. We created a new format of storytelling, allowing grandparents (or any other distanced family member) to take any children's book and bring it to life using modern AR, ML and advanced animation capabilities. We built a tool that grandparents can use and create through, and that children love.
