Robotic ball a hit at electronics show
Category :
A glowing robotic ball that is controlled by a smartphone has won fans and the interest of game developers at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
Sphero, as the ball is called, rolls around the floor on command, its movements controlled by an Apple iPhone or an Android device.
A light glows inside the ball as it moves about, stopping, starting and navigating around objects.
"The gaming options are endless," said Jim Booth, vice president of business development for Orbotix, the Boulder, Colorado-based company behind Sphero, a finalist for a "Best of CES" award.
