Miuro: The iPod Dancing Robot
May 31st, 2007 | By admin | Category: Computer, FeaturedMat Drudge is linking to a Yahoo! News story about a gadget that dances to music played on an iPod on his site today. Neither Drudge nor the Yahoo story had any video so I searched on Youtube for Miuro to see if there is any demonstration video out there.
What I saw was very underwhelming. The little round thing wiggles around as it plays music alright, but I could not detect it keeping any beat. About the only semi-cool thing the machine did was avoid ledges if you had it on a table and avoid walls and feet if it were on the floor. But I have gotten some Happy Meal toys from McDonald’s that could do that.
Here, you be the judge.
