Angelo Casimiro, the same student who made shoes that charge smartphones, is at it once again and this time, he builds a fully-functioning BB-8 droid from the latest Star Wars movie. BB-8 has been easily one of the fan favorites when Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released that's why there's been a lot of cool merchandise in the market featuring this droid. There's the smartphone-controlled BB-8 that Globe offers and now a prototype of Sphero's Force Band has been demonstrated last CES that lets you control the toy just by using simple hand gestures. The still-prototype Force Band by Sphero relies on its accelerometer to follow the movements of your arm and sends instructions to BB-8 via Bluetooth. With it, you can make BB-8 dance, spin, direct it where to go, give it a fist bump, and more. Starting today, the Sphero BB-8 Droid from the upcoming Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens is available at the Greenbelt Globe Gen3 store for Php 12,499.75.
