Hi-tech toy firm WowWee showcased a couple of its upcoming offerings at the London Toy Fair last week. Its REV cars allow users to battle each other in either single- or multi-player modes. The MiPosaur, meanwhile, is a robotic dinosaur that responds to gestures.
Some of WowWee's previous devices have included the Spyball Wi-Fi robotic *** that can be remotely controlled from a computer, and the MiP self-balancing robot that can be controlled via an app or with gestures. As the name suggests, the MiPosaur uses the same underlying technology as the MiP robot.
Where WowWee is concerned, "MiP" stands for "mobile inverted pendulum." This is what the two-wheeled MiP robot and MiPosaur use to balance. In addition, the MiPosaur is said to have an "evolving intelligence and personality" and sensors that can detect user gestures.
Amongst the gestures to which this ferocious toy reacts are swiping a hand in front of its face to make it turn to the side, swiping around its head to make it spin on the spot, and covering its eyes to make it act frightened. It also reacts angrily to its tail being pulled. You can see these actions demoed in the video below.
The MiPosaur comes with a track-ball equipped with WowWee's BeaconSense technology (which the company refers to as "a proprietary indoor GPS system"), with which it can detect its surroundings and navigate accordingly. The track-ball can be used as a means of controlling the MiPosaur and for playing games with it. It's also possible to control the robot via a mobile app that is available on both iOS and Android.
Like the MiPosaur, the REVs, or "robotic enhanced vehicles" make use of BeaconSense. In addition to being able to detect and navigate around their surroundings, they can also detect each other.
The REVs come in pairs and are used to battle against each other by inflicting damage with impacts or with virtual weapons fired from the cars. They can be used with friends, and an unlimited number of players can join in if they have one of the cars. Alternatively, a single user can control one REV with any number of others set into autonomous mode for a man versus machine showdown.
Games that can be played with the REVs include Chase and Evade, Team Battle and Capture the Flag. The cars come with a stunt ramp and are controlled via a mobile app that is available on iOS or Android.
The MiPosaur will cost US$119.99 and the REV starter kit will cost $99.99. Both are expected to become available in the third quarter of this year.
The video below provides an introduction to the REVs.

高科技玩具公司WowWee上周在倫敦玩具展上展示了它即將推出的兩款產品。它的Rev汽車允許用戶在單人或多人模式下彼此戰斗。同時,MiSaaulu是一種響應手勢的機器人恐龍。
WowWee公司的一些以前的設備包括spyball Wi-Fi機器人攝像頭,可以由計算機進行遠程控制,和MIP的自平衡機器人,可以控制我通過一個應用程序或手勢。顧名思義,這miposaur使用相同的底層技術為MIP機器人。
哪里WowWee公司而言,“法”指的是“移動式倒立擺的。”這是兩輪MIP機器人和miposaur使用平衡。此外,該miposaur是說有一個“發展智力和人格”和傳感器,可以檢測用戶的手勢。
在這兇猛的玩具反應刷手在面前讓它轉向一邊的手勢,繞著它的頭讓它刷自旋在現場,和覆蓋它的眼睛使它的行為嚇壞了。它也會對它的尾部做出反應。你可以看到這些行動展示在下面的視頻中。
的miposaur帶有一個軌跡球配備WowWee公司的beaconsense技術(該公司稱為“一個專有的室內GPS系統”),它可以檢測出其相應的環境和導航。軌跡球可以作為控制miposaur手段和它玩游戲。通過一個移動應用程序,在iOS和Android是可控制的機器人也有可能。
像miposaur,轉速,或“機器人提高車輛利用beaconsense。除了能夠檢測周圍環境導航,他們也可以互相發現。
轉速來對,用于打擊對方造成傷害與影響或虛擬武器發射車。他們可以和朋友一起使用,如果他們有一輛車,他們可以加入一個無限數量的球員。另外,一個用戶可以控制轉速與任何數量的其他設置為人與機器對決的自治模式。
游戲可玩轉速包括追逐與逃避,組隊戰和奪旗。汽車來了一個特技坡道,通過一個移動應用程序,在iOS或Android是可控制的。
的miposaur將耗資119.99美元,啟入門套件將花費99.99美元。預計將在今年第三季度變得可用。
