For those who aren't familiar, the Sphero BB-8 is a mechanical ball that connects wirelessly over Bluetooth to your Windows phone or tablet. You can then remotely control the BB-8, put it on set patrol paths to roll through, or let it roam on its own. Over time it develops its own reactions to what's happening around it. As a nice added touch, there's an augmented reality app that lets users upload "holographic" video messages into the Sphero, and view them in the app. Check out our run-down of the Sphero BB-8 to see what's up.
