A screen-free way for children to explore stories and music

HiRO makes a card-based speaker for children: tapping a physical card against the device plays a story or music, using NFC rather than a screen, app or login.

HiRO needed to take the product from a working concept into repeatable, quality-controlled manufacturing as demand for larger production volumes grew.

The HiRO starter kit laid out flat: a cloth carry pouch, a story card, the HiRO speaker, a USB charging cable and the retail box.

Supporting innovation and scalable growth

At Virinco Technology, we support HiRO with technical design, product development, and scalable production. Our team helps expand the platform, prepare for larger manufacturing volumes, and ensure every unit meets the highest quality standards.
