  • WowWee® - Astonishing Imagination.
    Robotics toy maker with new launches at CES 2012. Via VentureBeat: At the Consumer Electronics Show this week in Las Vegas, WowWee is showing off more of its recently introduced App Gear line, extending the idea of connecting apps with traditional toys to create something called Amplified Reality. You can expect to see a lot more of this blending of real-world toys and digital apps in the years ahead. Rather than take a backseat to the digital experience of video games, toys can help enhance it, according to WowWee, the maker of the Robosapien robot toys and Paper Jamz electronic toy guitars. App Gear toys will give retailers a piece of the app pie, with toys selling for $9.99 to $19.99. The goal is to get beyond the gimmick and make the toys true parts of the games. App Gear products work with all of the iOS and Android mobile devices.
