There's a little toy rabbit called Karotz (karotz.com). It's the successor of the now discontinued Nabaztag, and it's actively being developed. Karotz has some cool features such as text-to-speach, voice recognition, camera, and media player. It can also change color and move its ears. Lots of fun, needless to say. Still a little rough around the edges, but fully functional.
There are several applications available to Karotz, such as news readers, weather apps, radio stations, and at-home, where the kids after school swipe a little mini rabbit with an RFID tag over the nose of Karotz, which snaps a photo and emails it to daddy. You can also build your own apps. Apps can either run inside the rabbit (hosted), or on a server within the same network (external). The hosted app uses a JavaScript API, while the external app uses a REST API on the Karotz servers. I played a little using a hosted app with a few lines of JavaScript, getting Karotz to move its ears and say stuff in various languages. Then I wondered if it would be possible to use ClojureScript to generate the JavaScript. There's a 64K limit on the code, so it wasn't obvious whether it would work. But it did, using advanced mode compilation. The trick was to provide externs for functions on the global karotz object. If anybody is interested, I can provide details. Here's some sample code: https://gist.github.com/2346853 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
