Think of a company at the forefront of technology in miniaturisation, producing animatronic and robotic toys - and most people will think of WowWee! Created in 1998, the WowWee toy Robosapien range of robots were like nothing else ever seen before. With the ability to lie down on their back and stand again by means of sophisticated electronics and animatronics, WowWee toys have become known worldwide as innovators and creators of spectacular new products ever since that first robot.
Tribot, Wrex The Dawg and Mr Personality will be well known as WowWee toys that have captured the imagination of kids and young adults all over the world, and the FlyTech series of flying insects, fairies and helicopter type products that work via infra red hand controllers literally do make the customers say "wow!". Alive cubs are another of the WowWee toys interactive programme, and with their sophisticated animatronics that react to stroking and hugging, the lifelike reactions enchant the owners.
WowWee's amazing Paper Jamz toy guitars have enabled anyone with rock star ambitions to instantly play like their favourite guitarists. Featuring wafer thin circuits that are embedded into the paper surface, they not only look cool but sound fantastic too, especially when plugged into the special Paper Jamz amplifier. Add a Paper Jamz drum set into the mix, and a few friends can get together to make an instant rock band!
Companies like WowWee have teams of designers and scientists constantly working on new products, and Rovio is just one example of an item produced as a result of this advanced thinking. A mobile Wi-Fi webcam that can be controlled throughout a person's houses is just one such product that has taken the market by storm.
