I love toys that allow kids to learn at the same time and Uncle Milton does an awesome job with this! We got to check out the new Virtual Explorer Space Expedition and the Star Wars Science Force Spinners Magnetic Lab with BB-8 and Evan had a blast playing with them.
I was especially impressed with the Virtual Explorer Space Expedition. Being a space enthusiast and someone with an Aerospace Engineering degree I couldn't wait to see what this had to offer. The coolest thing is that it allows you to explore the solar system via virtual reality technology! The star planetarium projects hundreds of stars on the wall.
There is a dial that you can use to set it to a specific date. There is an explorer activity guide that helps you learn about constellations, space expeditions and the solar system.
The Virtual Reality goggles open up for you to put your smart phone in to. You then download a free app to start exploring. The cool thing is that when I looked through I saw that the technology was Powered by Vuforia. My company PTC which I have worked at for 18 years acquired Vuforia so this is our technology powering this toy.
There are Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality cards that unlock adventures.
Here it is as packaged. It retails for $49.99. They also have a Prehistoric Safari and Antopia Adventure. You can see those here.
We also received the Star Wars Science Force Spinners Magnetic Lab with BB-8. Evan loved the Star Wars The Force Awakens movie and thought BB-8 was cool so I knew he would like this. You put the rip cord in to allow it to spin.
Us the force to push BB-8 with the magnetic force controller. Use the speed rail for tricks. Kids get to learn about magnets, friction and physics.
Even Shellie had fun playing with it.
Here it is as packaged. It retails for $19.99.
