Getting bored with your usual classic mp3 player?
Rolly was an egg-shaped digital robotic music player made by Sony, combining music functions with robotic dancing. It had several motors that allow it to rotate and spin, as well as two bands of LED lights running around its edge and cup-like “wings” (or “arms” according to the Sony sonystyle USA website) which can open and close on either end, all of which could be synchronized to the music being played.
Sound-sensitivity components detect beat, rhythm, voice and pitch, which could be used to have the device automatically react to music. It also had a G force sensor (accelerometer) which detected if the player was moving up or down. The track control was always on top and the volume control was always on the bottom. Preprogrammed movements along with music can be downloaded from personal computers using Bluetooth, having been composed on the computer or obtained from Sony’s repository of user-made movement schemes. It had 2 gigabytes of flash memory to store music files.
Rolly can analyse all the music it plays and create motion sequences to match, but it’s even more fun to design your own routines for it using the bundled software. You can share the results with your friends online – and download your favourites from Sony gallery.
But it’s too bad the Rolly itself is currently out-of-stock, and all accessories are listed as “clearance”. According to a Sony Style assistant, the Rolly has been discontinued in the US.
