The Bend Sensor was launched in 1998 in several lines of interactive plush toys. The Bull Frogg by Ohio Art, Puppy So Real from Irwin Toys, and Bash N' Brawlers from Toy Biz, all incorporated Bend Sensor as a nervous system capable of generating a variety of responses to varying degrees of pressure or bending. These toys hit the market in time for Christmas 1998 and were well received. New applications in the toy and electronic games industries are currently under research. |
