Now You Can Control BB-8 With a Flick of Your Wrist

(dramatic orchestral music)

We're willing to bet that your wearable

doesn't come with the power of the force.

Sphero's BB-8 droid was last year's must-have toy.

And this year, they're launching a new model,

with a new look and new powers.

Instead of using the antenna in your phone

where it competes with wifi or LTE signals,

this wristband is dedicated to the droid only

and uses motion controls for extra precision.

That means you can control BB-8 from much farther away.

It's a little less force push and a little more

flick of the wrist, but once you get BB-8 moving,

it's a hell of a lot of fun.

Play a game of BB-8 bocce and see who can get him

closest to the wall without touching

or have him chase you around like he does with Poe,

Finn, or Rey in The Force Awakens.

Instead of a slick, glossy finish,

this version of BB-8 is as close to movie perfect

as possible.

Check out the matte finish and the battle damage

from his adventures with Poe Dameron.

When you're not driving BB-8, the force band

also has force awareness mode.

[Watch Speaker] You have found a common holocron.

[Host] A more passive collecting game

that falls somewhere between the top Star Wars

trading card app and Pokemon Go.

It allows users to collect characters

and vehicles from the Star Wars universe,

ranging from common to legendary

and it'll definitely scratch that collector itch.

You'll get so used to wearing your force band

that you might even forget BB-8 is following you around.

Hey buddy.
