Nabaztag gets its name from the Armenian word for “rabbit.” It is an electronic, ambient device shaped like a small rabbit. What makes Nabaztag unique, though, is that it has Wi-Fi capabilities and can connect to the internet.
Voilet’s Nabaztag is the most technologically advanced rabbit in the world!
The Nabaztag was invented by Rafi Haladjian and Olivier Mevel. It is produced by the French company Violet, which is known for its innovative technological products. The rabbit weighs less than a pound and stands only 23cm tall. Thanks to its web capabilities, the Nabaztag can play MP3s and other sound recordings downloaded from the internet. This makes it quite useful for obtaining updates on the weather, stock information, news headlines, and much more. The Nabaztag even offers the ability to listen to the radio. It also offers alarms and alerts. From acting as a regular alarm clock to providing e-mail and RSS alerts, the Nabaztag truly provides a lot to its users.
In addition to delivering information through audio, the Nabaztag can also provide feedback through a system of colored lights as well as by repositioning its ears. Violet is now coming out with an improved Nabaztag that can respond to voice commands and has a built-in microphone. Combined, these methods provide a lot of flexibility in widgets, which include Tai Chi, air quality monitoring, Nabaztag Mood, and much more.
A bilingual rabbit that needs love and attention
The Nabaztag device comes in a wide range of colors. In order to market the Nabaztag around the world, the manufacturers have programmed it to speak English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, and several other common languages. One interesting feature of this global device is the ability to “marry” two rabbits. Once a connection is established, users anywhere in the world can move one rabbit’s ears and have the other respond the same way.
The Nabaztag is customizable and can be programmed by its user. In fact, the Nabaztag has its own programming language that helps developers create compatible widgets for the rabbit. Customizing the Nabaztag can be as simple as visiting the appropriately named “Nabaztools” homepage, which also offers a link to the “Nabazlab.” In the Nabazlab, users can more easily break down and work with the Nabaztag’s programming code.
An entire social phenomenon surrounds the Nabaztag. Social networks on popular sites like Flickr and YouTube share photos and videos of Nabaztag. There is even a network of users who prepare podcasts specifically for Nabaztag transmission. Furthermore, thanks to Google Earth, it is even possible to track the location of Nabaztags all over the world.
