First off, “Wappy” Dog? What an amazing name.
This robo mutt comes from the unlikely team of Activision and Sega. Activision makes the game software and Sega makes the robo dog. Think of this is a digital pet that you can play with in your DS or IRL.
Engadgetsays a prototype ofWappy Dogwas shown at Toy Fair 2011. Apparently it can dance, bark and whine, and your interactions with the real-world bot will affect what happens in-game. Your interactions are sync’d wirelessly between digital and robo versions.
