The original Sphero Force Band was designed to help control the BB-8 drone, but the newly released design helps enhance the band's technology to be far more complex.
Capable of controlling connected objects around them, the new device is capable of enabling users to use the Force to perform tasks. This could come in the form of performing a Jedi-inspired gesture to turn on the coffee maker, unlock the front door or even turn on an entertainment system.
The Sphero Force Band is customizable via a user's smartphone to pair the device with IoT objects around them in order to establish a connection. The band will last for about 60-minutes of use and helps to infuse a touch of magic into everyday objects to the delight of consumers young and old.
