Since the release of “Robosapien” in ‘04, robot fans have been anxious to see what’s happening each year at the WowWee booth. And this year they didn’t disappoint with everything from animatronic-enhanced plush toys and lightweight remote-controlled planes to walking, talking “entertainment robotic companions.”
However, WowWee also announced it will diversify its ’09 product line to include micro projectors for iPods, a transforming spy-cam, and robots that beatbox…
Entering the world of telepresence gear, WowWee’s Spyball is a robotic ball that opens up to become a remote controlled, WiFi-enabled rechargeable spy-cam. Spyball can transform from ball to camera (and back again), while capturing video and still images. It’s outfitted with wheels for mobility and 360-degree turns.
WowWee is also showing its Cinemin suite of portable micro projectors, powered by TI’s DLP technology, that have been designed to work with mobile devices including the iPod and iPhone. The line includes the Cinemin Swivel pico projector, a lightweight micro projector with an expandable SD card memory slot, 3-hour battery and an adjustable 90-degree hinge for ceiling projection.
