Firefighters say 11 people lived in the home: seven adults and four children. Very little is left to salvage. And this is only the beginning of the family's problems.

That makes Zeno into as much of a sociological experiment as it is a technical marvel or fun toy. "The idea is to create a cultural phenomenon and accelerate the use and humanization of the technology," Where story, game, reality, toys are not differentiable anymore.
