R.H. Baer Consultants (RHBC) has been in the business of inventing, developing, and licensing electronic consumer products since I started it in 1975.
During the ’70’s and 80’s, much of RHBC’s work was involved in cooperative product development at Marvin Glass & Associates, the pre-eminent US independent toy & game designers of that period. SIMON, the perennially popular handheld game was the outstanding product of that period.
