R2-D2: the Projector

Remember R2-D2 from the classic Star Wars series? That little beeping robot had the ability to project holographic images and move around managing stuff. Just last year, Nikko, a Japanese manufacturer that produced the Gig-Nikko radio models back in the day, created R2-D2 – a device that replicates the robot in the series in a very practical way.

Nikko’s R2-D2 roams around your room and makes beeping sounds like the real thing, which is a feature alone that makes it so cool. You can control it with the equally sophisticated Falcon Ship remote control.

But what makes this device stand out is actually the fact that it’s a visual projector. With high resolution and surround sound, you can watch movies, project images and even play videogames with R2-D2. The robot can also re-angle itself so it projects on the ceiling for your creative convenience. At $2,995, this is a must have for video and tech fanatics everywhere.
