Sphero Shows Off Early Version of Nyan Cat Augmented Reality App - ボールをコントロールして遊べるAR玩具

丸いボールを、スマートフォンとブルートゥースを使用して動作させることができる、ボールロボットとも言える "Sphero"。画面で見ると、ボールではなくネコになって動作しているように見える。様々なプログラミングができる"Sphero"は、とてもユニークなAR玩具だ。


During the store-opening party for the Nyan Cat popup store in New York on Dec. 13, Sphero, a Boulder, Colorado-based maker of a robotic ball-based gaming system previewed an early version of a Nyan Cat augmented reality game.

The Sphero polycarbonate robotic ball has an internal motor and flashing lights and can be controlled with a smartphone via Bluetooth much like a remote controlled toy car.

With the Nyan Cat augmented reality app you can watch a virtual Nyan Cat scoot across your floor. As you control the movement of the Sphero ball on the floor, what you see on your tablet or phone screen is the Nyan Cat—of course streaming a rainbow behind it.
