Sphero’s version of BB-8 is a few inches high and it connects with your Android or iOS device via Bluetooth. There’s a gyroscope and accelerometer inside, along with a bunch with motors, and BB-8’s head floats magnetically on top of the revolving body.

The app is perfectly Star Wars branded and it allows you to remote control BB-8, or to trigger pre-programmed movements or wee animations where he lights up and babbles or nods to you. The authentic Star Wars sounds and music come from the app rather than the droid itself.

You can also record holographic messages in the app and BB-8 has an autonomous patrol mode where he’ll explore his environment and map it. You can actually track what it’s doing in the app in real-time, so there’s an educational aspect there. It can also listen and respond to your voice, and it’s supposed to develop its own personality over time, depending on what you do together.
