Rolly is an egg-shaped digital robotic music player made by Sony, combining music functions with robotic dancing. It has two wheels that allow it to rotate and spin, as well as two bands of colored LED light running around its edge and cup-like "wings" or "arms" which can open and close on either end, all of which can be synchronized to the music being played.
Sony bring new product for 2013. Rolly has several operating modes, including Bluetooth functionality. Rolly can play music stream directly from any Bluetooth enabled cell phone, computer, or mp3 player. Rolly is able to dance along to streaming music .The Rolly features three motion functions enabling it to synchronize movement to the music. The self-motion function analyzes the wavelength data making the player move and controlling the lights automatically in time with the music. The auto-motion function uses the bundled Motion Editor software to automatically generate movement and light programs. and the custom-motion function also using the Motion Editor, allows the user to precisely configure the movements of the players six motors and the timing and color of the LED side lights to create unique motion data.
Rolly™ analyses your favourite music and responds with funky moves - twisting, spinning and flashing his lights to the sound of the beat.
