The Sphero has just launched on Australian shores; timed perfectly for the Christmas period.

It’s a fairly impressive toy, capable of manoeuvring around a whole host of obstacles, all controlled via an app from your android or iOS device.

The ball itself can be manipulated into a variety of creatures within the app through the augmented reality function, is waterproof and comes with 20 pre-loaded challenges, including Sphero golf.

Reaching a top speed of 8 km/h the ball gradually increases in speed as you master manoeuvring around obstacles.

It’s essentially a miniature robot for your smartphone and might prove just as popular with adults as it is for kids.
