One quick glance at the BB-8™ App-Enabled Droid™ from Sphero and you’ll probably be left wondering where this was when you were a kid. Of course, coined as more than a toy, we imagine there will be plenty of Star Wars fans of all ages who will get a kick out of this.

Meet BB-8u2122 – the app-enabled Droidu2122 that’s as authentic as it is advanced. BB-8 has something unlike any other robot – an adaptive personality that changes as you play. Based on your interactions, BB-8 will show a range of expressions and even perk up when you give voice commands.

Her work for The Dieline is a constant journey to deeply understand all facets of the design process and to investigate what makes designers tick. Theresa’s writing has taken her snorkeling in between the tectonic plates in Iceland, horseback riding through a rural Brazilian town, and riding an octopus art car at Burning Man with Susan Sarandon as part of a funeral procession for Timothy Leary (long story). When not writing, she is planning her next trip or taking too many pictures of her cat.
