API4TOYS: Implementation of architecture for the toy

API4TOYS is a project for the integration of the videogames and the traditional toy through the usage of common communication protocols and APIs, so any videogame developer will be able to communicate with a compatible toy, get usage information in real time and even actuate on it, giving a sense of smartness to the toy. This smartness will be oriented to get learning methodologies adapted to each user, gamifying the learning in an adaptive way and applying gamming contexts to kids and adults learning, through the integration of technological advances and ICTs to the traditional toys.

API4TOYS is a project funded by the Instituto Valenciano de Competitividad Empresarial (IVACE) and the European Union through the Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER).

This document includes a detailed description about the application programming interface designed during the project that eases the development of digital games that interact with the traditional toy.
