AIBO and AIBO Software demonstrations inside Sony Style Stores
Here’s your chance to learn more about the new software available for the ERS-110/111 and ERS-210.
AIBO Messenger for ERS-210*
With AIBO Messenger, AIBO will let you know when you have e-mail and will read them aloud, making gestures with body language and actions that reflect the nature of the message! AIBO Messenger also allows AIBO to fetch the digital news on your favorite subjects from up to 6 web sites and remind you of important appointments. Available July.
AIBO Navigator for ERS-210*
AIBO Navigator lets you use a PC to control AIBO wirelessly. With the AIBO wireless LAN card, you can control AIBO's actions and direction of movement. You can make AIBO dance, do tricks, or play soccer. Your PC will display what AIBO "sees" through its digital camera as well as capture digital photo stills. Have AIBO speak your words by wirelessly sending .wav files. Best of all, control AIBO by logging on to your personal network. Available in June.
* AIBO Messenger and AIBO Navigator must be used in
conjunction with an IEEE802.11b wireless LAN card (sold separately) installed
in the PC as well as the AIBO Wireless LAN Card [ERA-201D1] (sold separately) installed
in AIBO. In addition, AIBO Messenger requires the usage of a MAPI-compliant
email software (such as Outlook Express 5.5 or Eudora 4.3).
