Nabaztag - The Multipurpose Internet-Connected Rabbit
What if the world came to you through a Rabbit? A Rabbit connected to the Internet, who could talk, flash coloured lights and move his ears to keep you updated about everything that’s going on all over the Web and all over the World, in real time.
A Rabbit who could read, sing and dance messages from your friends. A Rabbit you could talk to, order about, ask questions or pass on messages for other people. A Rabbit who could recognize the objects around you and act accordingly…
Universally-acclaimed Nabaztag is revolutionizing the world of objects and devices, and opening the way for calm and gentle technologies and The Internet of Things.
This pack also includes a cute little programmable Nano:ztag micro-Rabbit.
