Cell Phones as RC Car Controllers?
Via Red Herring.
Vroom, vroom...screech! These are some of the sounds that could soon be associated with cell phones as callers use them to steer a remote-control car.
In an attempt to further expand the usefulness of cell phones, Motorola has collaborated with remote-control toy manufacturer Nikko and Freescale Semiconductor to make the Wireless Wheels car.
“It’s the fusion of mobile technology and toys,” said Peter Aloumanis, general manager for the U.S. division of Motorola’s iDEN mobile devices. “Motorola is exploring new applications for short-range wireless communication technologies and is having fun doing it.”
Wireless Wheels is one-sixteenth the size of a real race car, and uses Freescale’s Personal Area Network technology and a phone attachment to connect with a number of Motorola iDEN phones.
