A small tech company is working on an app which it hopes could act as a confidante for children, and encourage them to get outdoors.
Avatars Global has partnered with a U.S. company, to create a smartphone game with thousands of lifelike characters to pick from, which a young person can then interact with. The app would also set challenges - like going for a walk, or picking up a bag of rubbish - which a child could complete, for in-game digital rewards.
Riley Malins says his team at Avatars Global is passionate about getting tamariki active and healthy, both mentally and physically.
