InteracTV

If your kids enjoying watching DVDs of Dora the Explorer, Sesame Street, and SpongeBob SquarePants, here is a way to make that passive experience into an interactive one.
Interact TV works with your DVD player and television. It comes with its own DVD and a special 10 x 7-inch controller into which you slip a special card. When you sync your DVD player to the InteracTV controller (by entering a provided code), kids can watch footage on the DVD from "Dora the Explorer," "Elmo’s World," and "SpongeBob SquarePants." Frequently during the show, kids will be asked to answer questions by pressing on one of nine touch points on the controller card. The cards have recognizable shapes that correspond to what is shown on the screen. Kids will be asked to answer over 100 questions which randomize so the play experience is different every time. If children answer incorrectly, they get help from the DVD characters.
Add-on DVD titles are available showcasing Blue’s Clues, Barney, Dora the Explorer, Sesame Street, and SpongeBob. Each DVD is $15.
