The idea of a toy pet, which can not only play, but also to take care of him, remains in demand for decades. The only difference in performance modern “tablets” has dozens of sensors and react to touch, movement, voice and image of his master. The developers Owleez Spin Master went even further and managed to implement this concept on the basis of educational quadcopter.
Owleez looks and behaves like a toy owl. But he has wings and propeller, through which a toy can fly. The goal is to “educate” pet and “teach” it to do, which will have to perform the ritual first caretaker, and then mentor. In particular, Owleez perfectly responds to the nature of the touch and easily distinguish a scratch from a finger poke and rude he doesn’t like at all.
While the owl is small and timid, his need to comfort, put to sleep, feed with artificial berries and allow to gain strength. When the “grow up” – should be on hand, to acquaint with the world and to persuade to fly. The method of “throw out of the nest, and there instinct will work” is not good, the toy will break, so that will have to be patient. And Yes, from someone else’s hands Owleez to go categorically do not want.
The wings of the owl is made of soft materials and do not endanger the health of the people in the accident. Owleez not capable of aerobatics, all the joy is in the fact that the pet has departed. The nest serves as both a docking station. Price toys only $50, and there is a real chance that the unusual approach to the creation of the “Tamagotchi of the 21st century” will make him the hit of the season.
