Sphero’s BB-8 droid is learning a new trick in time for the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Blu-ray release. Users can now set up the toy hover-droid to react in sync with the film, whistling and whirring at all the appropriate moments.</p><p>
This does take some dedication, however. As Gizmodo notes (http://toyland.gizmodo.com/spheros-bb-8-can-now-watch-and-react-to-the-force-awake-1768797160), users will want to keep their smartphones plugged in, because the BB-8 companion app must run throughout the movie and listen for audio cues via the phone’s microphone. (The app also chimes in with its own fun facts and movie details as you watch.)</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3051684/gadgets/sphero-s-bb-8-can-be-your-screening-buddy-for-star-wars-the-force-awakens.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
