This just in from Hammacher Schlemmer to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, here’s an R2-D2 that actually has some of his original functions in place.
The R2-D2 Wireless Web Camera isn’t set to project holographic messages, but he is ready to capture you at 628×528 pixels and wirelessly transmit your message back to your computer. And since R2 was never big on sitting still, this replica comes with worldwide remote access capabilities allowing you to control his movements and access the web camera functions from any computer. Need a watchdog to watch your dog while you’re at work? R2’s on the case.
Controlled by a lightsaber-shaped remote, you can even direct his movements from the comfort of your couch with full turns, backward and forward movements, even 360 spins for room sweeps.
A sensor located on the front leg can detect ledges (if you have him perched on your desk or table) and will automatically stop the droid from stepping off the clip while sending off an audible warning from one of his programmed 11 phrases and droid sounds from the original Star Wars soundtrack.
Is there a Star Wars fanatic in your life? At 8 x 5.5 x 5.25″, this droid can be yours today for $349.95.
