Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Homestar Aurora' Devices Bring the Stars to Your Bedroom

— August 13, 2012 — Tech
Sega Toys has just released a new relaxation toy called the 'Homestar Aurora' that helps ease you to sleep with projections on your ceiling and soothing music.

Coming in white or black versions, the Homestar Aurora is the perfect end to a long hard day. Simply choose from the three different projections: Stars, Aurora or Sunset and then match it with three kinds of music provided by sleep therapist Miho Mihashi. The built-in speakers allow for adjustable audio levels and the device can fit into practically any home setting.

Once the device is turned on, you will be whisked away into a sleep-filled dreamland surrounded by beauty of the 10,000 stars, the wonder of the green and blue northern lights or a starry sunset.

Each projection can last for periods of up to five minutes or 30 minutes. Sweet dreams!
