Use Your iPhone Or iPad To Make Rover Do Your Bidding!

Given how fast the smartphone has gone from a novelty to a ubiquitous accessory in the hands of people from every demographic, it might be unsurprising to you how few manufacturers of smartphone accessories have tapped into all of the benefits of the smartphone for their accessories.  While many manufacturers focus on creating accessories that protect your mobile computing device or interface devices that make your mobile device act like a more traditional audio or video player, real innovators continue to create gadgets that use the full range of your mobile device.  Already, there are products that connect your smartphone to a controller to create a new handheld gaming system.  Brookstone wants you to use your Apple mobile devices to control Rover!

 

Rover, SKU 719302 in the Brookstone catalogue, is a spy tank with night vision that you control using an application on your Apple mobile computing device.  The Rover App-Controlled Spy Tank With Night Vision is a remote controlled droid that uses your Apple mobile device as its remote.  With the download of the free application from iTunes, you may easily control the Rover App-Controlled Spy Tank With Night Vision using your iPod Touch (2nd,3rd, or 4th generation), iPhone, or iPad.  It takes only a few minutes to synch your Apple device to your Rover unit.

 

The Rover App-Controlled Spy Tank With Night Vision is an all-terrain remote control droid that features large treads on both sides and that lays fairly low to the ground.  As a result, the Rover App-Controlled Spy Tank With Night Vision is not likely to tip when you use your iPhone to make it corner fast.  Brookstone includes the six AA batteries needed to power the Rover App-Controlled Spy Tank With Night Vision, but not the Apple iPhone, iPad, or iPod.  When controlling the Rover App-Controlled Spy Tank With Night Vision with your Apple mobile device, it has a range of two hundred feet in open areas, one hundred feet in rooms and locations that feature walls or other obstructions.

 

The Apple iPad may be the ideal interface device for controlling the Rover App-Controlled Spy Tank With Night Vision.  Because the Rover App-Controlled Spy Tank With Night Vision features a top-mounted digital video camera with the ability to stream a 320 x 240 resolution video at twenty-five frames per second, having a large viewing area to interpret the images is recommended.  You may also use your Apple device to take still images.  The video feed, like the movement of the Rover App-Controlled Spy Tank With Night Vision, is entirely controlled by your iPad.  Your smartphone or tablet computer provides you with an entirely different way of seeing the world as you move your Rover App-Controlled Spy Tank With Night Vision at ground level.  And if your Rover App-Controlled Spy Tank With Night Vision enters a dark room, simply activate the night vision function and you can continue to move the droid with complete confidence.

 

A neat tool for fun or legitimate surveillance, the Rover App-Controlled Spy Tank With Night Vision expands how you use your Apple mobile device.
