Description Technical Specs Important Information
 
Sphero is the first robotic ball gaming device that you control with a tilt, touch, or swing from your smartphone or tablet. You can even use Sphero as a controller for on-screen gameplay. Sphero interacts seamlessly with mobile apps, giving you new ways to test your skills, play games with friends, and more. A Bluetooth connection makes Sphero ready to play as fast as you can launch an app. And, with single- or multi-player games, Sphero will always surprise you.
  
Sphero is Acclaimed by Popular Science, Forbes, Wall Street Journal, and MSNBC and featured as one of the year's hottest gadgets by TechCrunch, Wired, Gizmodo, Engadget, and Make magazine, Sphero offers a new type of game play for the smartphone generation.


Simple, Yet Challenging
Controlling Sphero from your mobile device is easy and intuitive--just tilt, gesture, or swing, and Sphero responds. Because your experience changes with every new app you download, Sphero's entertainment never stops.
Sphero's reliable Bluetooth connection ensures control is always responsive and fluid, even at long ranges. You will be able to steer through homemade obstacle courses, let Sphero go for a swim, and even out-maneuver your family pet.

Sphero Apps Offer Engaging, Mixed-Reality Gameplay
Sphero immerses you in a new type of game play called mixed-reality, in which real and virtual elements are seamlessly merged together. With several free apps available for download (and more continuously being developed), Sphero provides you with plenty of gaming thrills.
  
Standout apps include Sphero Drive, where you can choose from touchscreen interfaces like joystick, old-school RC control, and tilt mode to give you a variety of ways to test your skills and challenge friends. In a mixed-reality version of golf, you create a hole, then swing your phone to putt Sphero towards the hole. Think Sphero just rolls? Think again. Hold Sphero in your hand, start up Chromo, and move Sphero to match colors and patterns as they appear on your screen.

Durable, Customizable, and Battery Efficient
Roughly the size of a baseball, Sphero is compact enough to slip into a bag or jacket pocket. Sphero's durable, impact-resistant polycarbonate shell allows for lasting gameplay. And with customizable colored LEDs, you can change Sphero's color to suit your mood, play in the dark, or create a team color. For further convenience, Sphero is extremely efficient. A single battery charge delivers over an hour of full-throttle play, thanks to cable-free induction charging.

Compatible with Android and iOS Devices
Sphero is compatible with a variety of mobile platforms, including iOS 4.0 or greater, Android 2.2, Android 2.3.3+, and Android 3.0+.

Open API for Custom Sphero Apps
Sphero also has an Open API (application program interface) for developers, which allows virtually anyone to program new games and apps for Sphero. The API is intuitive, so you will be able to use it whether you are a seasoned developer or a novice app programmer.



Sphero is now old enough to party. Try Sphero ColorGrab for fast-moving gameplay that gets everyone involved. It's a board game reinvented for the mobile generation.



Sphero doubles as an advanced game controller when you hold it in your hand. Games like Sphero Exile and Chromo allow for enhanced gameplay - all without obstructing the screen with your fingers.



Compete for speed, race in the water, or even play a game of tag. Using collision detection technology, take away other players' lives in Sphero TAG by bumping into them when their Sphero turns red. The last player with lives wins.



Gaming is always evolving, and right now it's headed in an exciting direction - towards augmented reality. We're not going to give it all away now, but we've got something pretty magical coming for this holiday season.



Using simple, intuitive controls, create a hole and then hit Sphero with a swing of your smartphone. Create a course at home, in the office, or just about anywhere. All that's missing now is a caddy.



Sphero doubles as the world's most intelligent pet toy. With his high-impact polycarbonate shell and playful movements, pets across the globe have found a new best friend.



Control Sphero with joystick, tilt, or SpheroCam controls. Create challenging courses, race against friends and family, or turn out the lights and enjoy some night driving. You can even track how far your Sphero has traveled.



Sphero was built with the intention that any programmer could make apps for him. Beginners can start with Sphero MacroLab, while more advanced developers can use our SDK's for iOS and Android.



Sphero is a sophisticated robot. He is also a clever, sneaky little ball that is perfect for tricking family and friends. Whether you prefer office pranks or surprising the family dog, Sphero is the perfect companion for your jokester ways.



Sphero is built to go just about anywhere. We've outfitted him in a high-impact polycarbonate shell to protect all of his sophisticated robotic insides, and have sealed him tight so that he can even take a swim.



Sphero looks good in polycarbonate. But he looks even cooler with custom skins, designs, and accessories. Make Sphero your unique robot by customizing him with your own style and creativity.



Sphero is a completely new type of gaming system. It's the world's first robotic ball that you control with a tilt, touch, or swing from your smartphone or tablet. You can drive Sphero, play tabletop and multiplayer games, hold Sphero in your hand to use it as a controller for on-screen gameplay, learn basic programming, and even explore augmented reality.
